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 only have one. Despite taking into account several factors, from the participants education to their socio-economic status and beyond, the team still found the best predictor of intelligence was the IQ of the mother. #study #research #dad #iq #intelligence #didyouknow #factsdaily #facts #motheranddaughtertime #momanddaughter #momofthree #girlmom #boymom #science
