There are 24 pairs of chromosomes in a human cell. Males have an XY pair. Females have an XX pair. Both boy and girl inherit an
X chromosome from their mother. Girls inherit a second X chromosome from their father. Boys inherit the Y chromosome from their father. Does X have more genetic information than Y? I
doubt it. Remember that we all have 11 chromosomes which we
inherit equally from both parents.

So the complexity and heavy utilization of the X chromosome is greater than the weirdness of the much smaller Y ?

Makes sense, at least on an initial level.

What we are learning about gene expression and other factor means that reality is probably incredibly complex and subtle.

The rise of neo-Lamarkism (and maybe some Lysenkoism ? ;-( )

Effects of Dutch Famine of 1944 (from Wikipedia )-

The Dutch Famine Birth Cohort Study, carried out by the departments of Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Gynecology and Obstetrics and Internal Medicine of the Academic Medical Centre in Amsterdam, in collaboration with the MRC Environmental Epidemiology Unit of the University of Southampton in Britain, found that the children of pregnant women exposed to famine were more susceptible to diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, microalbuminuria and other health problems.[3]

>Moreover, the children of the women who were pregnant during >the famine were smaller, as expected. However, surprisingly, >when these children grew up and had children those children >were also smaller than average.

This data suggested that the famine experienced by the mothers caused some kind of epigenetic changes that were passed down to the next generation.
