If you consider yourself a sharp person, then your mother must be a very smart woman.
According to Research, intelligent people should thank their moms for their smart brains because it is the mothers genes that plays a crucial role in transmitting their intelligence from them to the child.
The fathers however, make no difference.
Women are more likely to transmit intelligence genes to their children because they are carried on the X chromosome and women have two of these while men have one.
Scientists also assert that genes for advanced cognitive functions which inherited from the father may be automatically deactivated.
A category of genes known as ”conditioned genes’ is thought to work only if they come from the mother in some cases and the father in other cases. Intelligence is believed to be among the conditioned genes that have come from the mother.
