Is the Male Pattern Baldness Gene Relevant?
It is interesting to know how important the male pattern baldness gene is in terms of going bald. The fact is that it is genetic and you can blame your mother for this. It all lies with the maternal X chromosome. What would be of interest is how our mothers got this gene. All human beings get fifty percent of their genetic make from the father and the mother. Females are XX chromosome and men are XY chromosome. The father is responsible for what the sex of the child is. The father will contribute the child’s X chromosome, which correlates with the wife’s X. The result is XX and the birth of a girl. If the father gives a Y chromosome then this coupled with X chromosome from the female, means a boy. For this reason it is the X chromosome that causes baldness in men. Men only have one X-chromosome. This means the gene that results in baldness is a single expression gene. No other gene is around to suppress this gene that causes men to go bald. It is safe to conclude then that the gene res
