Letter: You shall inherit nothing

Published 12 May 2001

From Daniel Walker

The snippet about genes for sperm lying on the female X chromosome
(7 April, p 25)
ends with the statement: “This suggests male infertility can be inherited
from mothers.”

There are, of course, difficulties involved with inheriting anything very
much at all from an infertile father.
