The question does not read clearly.
1) If it is asking whether the males or females in the family get circumcised, the answer is Males:
Gen. 17:10 This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: every male among you shall be circumcised.
2) If it is asking whether the male to be circumcised comes to be circumcised on account of his mother's Jewish-ness or his father's Jewish-ness, the answer is that the mother determines the Jewish-ness of the child and whether or not that child should be circumcised. (This comes from the Talmudic Interpretation of Deut. 7:3-4. Read more at the Related Link.)
In the case of a Jewish father and non-Jewish mother, the child will have to be converted prior to being required to be circumcised. He can certainly be circumcised while not being Jewish and convert later, but the requirement to be circumcised only applies at the moment of conversion. If the non-Jewish mother converts before the birth of the child, the child is born Jewish.

What was the token of the covenant?
The token of the covenant in the Bible was circumcision, which symbolized the covenant between God and Abraham and his descendants. It was a physical sign of the commitment to follow God's laws and be set apart as His chosen people.
If circumcision is the covenant between God and man Genesis 17v10 then what will happen to uncircumcised Christians when they die?
Christians do not need to be circumcised to reach the salvation of eternal life. Christianity teaches that God made a New Covenant with man through his son, Jesus Christ, and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross replaced the Old Covenant law with the New. The Old Covenant law including circumcision was done away with, and the New Covenant requires baptism with water and belief in salvation through Jesus Christ. Whether or not a Christian is circumcised makes no difference, and even since the very early church the vast majority of Christians have been uncircumcised. In the early church there was much debate about whether Christians had to follow certain elements of the Old Covenant Jewish law, included whether converts to Christianity had to follow Jewish dietary laws (i.e., a kosher diet) and whether they needed to be circumcised. The early church decided that circumcision was not necessary for Christians. In the Bible, Paul writes in his epistles that circumcision is not necessary. He speaks about how circumcision is unnecessary in three chapters of his letter to the Romans (Romans 2-4). Paul writes in Galatians 5:2-3 and 6:12-13 that circumcision is of no value to those who believe in Christ, and in Colossians 2:11 he writes that one is cleansed from sin not by circumcision, but through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Who does the Ten Commandments apply to?
What the Most High stated for the Israelites to follow, He wants all to follow. The difference is that because He has a covenant with the Israelites, they were especially expected to follow His words considering that would be them breaking the covenant if they didn't and being unfaithful and dishonest to the Most Holy. Anyone who follow His statutes and laws are His people, just like the Israelite people.

Additionally, it respects individuals' autonomy and their capacity to make moral choices.
