Path of Y-DNA and mtDNA - Males
Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) is passed from father to son along an all-male line (highlighted in blue).  Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is passed from mother to child along an all-female line (highlighted in pink). Males pass Y-DNA to their sons, but do not pass mtDNA to their children.
