I learned that male pattern baldness is associated with the X chromosome. So as a man, you get it genetically from your mom not your dad. That being said, what’s your relationship with your mom and is her dad bald?

Good relationship with my mom. Her father went bald in his late teens early 20s and her brother in a similar time frame. I’m 19 and I haven’t lost any hair (god forbid it still happens).

No idea, never looked into those genes for baldness, but it could be like color blindness, where you need two balding genes for a woman to express it, so her dad could still have hair and passed it down from her mom to her child.
