The whole male side of my family is bald and I’m dreading when it finally comes for me, but I already know I’ll just accept it when that time comes and join the rest of my Mr. Clean family
My father had the comb over. One day my brother and I were on the back of the tractor watching it wave in the wind like a goddamned flag. We look each other in the eye and you could tell we were both thinking "When it's our turn, we're just going to go bald."
MPB is linked to the X chromosome which is passed down from mothers. women have two X chromosomes (the second chromosome coming from the father) so it is less likely to be expressed, because the second chromosome can ‘hide’ (for lack of better term) a X chromosome carrying the marker. because men only have one X chromosome, if that X chromosome is carrying that marker, MPB will be expressed. so if your mom’s side of the family has a full head of hair, you might not wind up being effected by MPB
Its not actually from your father that you get the genes for baldness its from your mother, so if your mother's father isnt bald then you have little to worry about
That's a myth. Inheritance is strongest from the father, about 80%, suggesting its actually partially y-linked or due to epigenetic factors passed on from the father
Scalp skin cancer is a real bloody thing. Mate has to get ‘cancer spots’ removed. English skin, MPB and Australian sun. In other words, he being intelligent. ‘What about the kid?!’ The kid has hair.
Yes and if he wasn't confident in his surfing abilities he would just use sunscreen. I feel like people who don't understand my comment have never been in water before
