Together with the paternal part of the genome, during conception, the child receives the so-called methyl groups, which can be responsible for health, dispositions, external data and even duration life.
These are the conclusions reached by researchers from the University of North Carolina.
This statement does not negate the fact that each parent passes on the same amount of genetic material to the child, it is just that the paternal part of it affects more. In a study carried out on laboratory mice, it was found that the paternal genes are more active than the maternal genes in 80% of cases.
The child's life expectancy depends on the father's DNA. Most importantly, children inherited not only the father's genome, but also epigenetic changes that occurred under the influence of external factors.It has also been proven that a child is able to inherit a predisposition to cardiovascular diseases from his father (more often in the case of his son).
