DNA

XX & XY

There are two sex chromosomes, X and Y. Females carry XX and males XY

The Y-chromosome passes down from father to son. Females do not receive it.

The fact that the Y-chromosome goes down the paternal line makes it valuable for genealogy studies, since it typically follows a surname line.
