Abstract:
Chromosome Y does not recombine with any other at meiosis except that on pseudoautosomal region. Polymorphic markers on the chromosome Y are paternal inheritance and are haploidly inherited. Variance of the sequences comes from accumulated mutation. These properties make them unique and important not only to anthroponomy and genetics but also to forensic science and medicine.
