I have a question, my grandmother (deceased) was a Chapman, can I take a DNA
test?
Thanks,
Margie

For certain, all femailes have an XX sex chromosome constitution, and
males have and an X and a Y chromosome (the X chromosome being distinctly
longer that an X Chromosome). (Thus it is the sperm that determines the
sex of the offspring, since ova only have a single Y chromosome and sperm
cells only have only an X or a Y chromosome).
What I would like to know is whether one gets a better (more accurate)
test results from a male candidate (ie Chapman descendant) or a female
candidate (eg. Chapman descentant), or maybe it makes no difference at
all?
