Since males are the only sex to have a y chromosome, only males can get genes that are linked to the Y chromosome. This means that some genetic diseases and conditions are more likely to be male such as color blindness.

What effect does eating GMO food on your genes?

Some argue that genetically modified food has no effects on human or animal genes. They also argue that GMO foods are the same as any other foods and have no negative health effects at all. Others argue that they might cause changes to our genes, and that they do cause changes to the flora in our intestines, possible sterilization, and other health issues. The FDA has declared then to be "substantially equivalent" to non GMO foods.In reality, we just do not know what effects genetically modified food have on our health or our genes.
