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.
