검증된 단계별 안내1
Recall that human males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX).
Understand that males inherit their Y chromosome from their father and their X chromosome from their mother.
Since Calix is male, his single X chromosome must have come from his mother, because the father contributes the Y chromosome to male offspring.
Therefore, the X chromosome in a male child cannot come from the father, only from the mother.
Conclude that Calix inherited his X chromosome from his mother.
