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?

you are male since you are male there is a 50% chance you get your grandfather’s gene, and vice versa
