Question

What do daughters inherit from their fathers?

Answer 1

Chromosome:

1. It is a DNA molecule bundled into thread-like strands that contain some or all of an organism's genetic material.
2. Chromosomes are formed of chromatin (further composed of double-helix DNA) wound around histone proteins.
3. It is found in the nucleus of each cell.

Daughters inherit an X-chromosome from their fathers.

1. Since females are homogametic (having two X-chromosomes; XX), they inherit one from their mother and one from their father.
2. For instance, the gene for insulin-like growth factor (IGF) is inherited from the X-chromosome of the father.
