Grouped into 23 pairs, we get one set from our mother and the other from our father. One of these pairs of chromosomes determines if a person is male or female: Males (XY) get the X chromosome from the mother and the Y chromosome from the father. Females (XX) inherit one X chromosome from each parent. The Fragile X premutation can be passed silently down through generations in a family before a child is affected by the syndrome.
The gene for baldness is on the X chromosome. As a guy, you inherited your Y from your dad and your X from your mom. But she inherited one X from her mom and one from her dad. Now my maternal grandfather isn't bald, but my dad is.
