Jimmy (or maybe Emily?) Hester asks:
"does baldness really come from the moms side of the family?"
I don't know whether the answer to your question bodes well or ill for you and yours. So I'll just give it to you straight. Yes, your mother's X-chromosome carries the trait for male pattern baldness. To see the results of this pernicious chromosome's effect on one's children, look at mom's brothers. If they tend toward thin (or no) hair, the mom's male offspring will likely sport the shiney scalp.
Is this good news?
