“What about chromosomes? Do they carry? Will they carry?”
(Please be aware, when I say male, I mean “XY”, so please don’t take this as transphobic because no I’m not)
Actually, I did a research paper on the biological origins of homosexuality (I was a sophomore tired of everyone telling me being gay was a choice), and there is a correlation (and dare I say causation) relationship between homosexual males and a gene in the body. The gene for homosexuality is actually an X-linked recessive trait on a gene called Xq28.
Xq28, being a recessive x-linked gene, is more likely to happen in males if the mother has the gene because of their having only one X trait as an XY organism. It determines the levels of androgen that the brain will receive prenatally. The androgen levels will determine the size of one area of the brain, in which a heterosexual male has a larger version of that part of the brain as opposed to homosexual men and heterosexual women.
The only way Jason can have Xq28 and have that different area of the brain is if it was ed on by Trina, since she is the only one to have given him the X of his XY chromosome pair. This means that Marvin physically cannot give him the gay. He only could have if he’s ed it on through HIS X. Which means Jason would have had to have an XX chromosome pair, not an XY.
I found this interesting tbh, and doing that research paper two years ago made me think about this line a lot more than I should have oof. Also, if anyone takes this the wrong way, I promise I’m not attacking anyone! I just thought I’d share what I learned from writing this research paper!
Also here, have a Hamlet meme that I made—

So Marvin's mom was gay?
It’s not impossible for her to be, but it really just means that she carried a copy of the gene, which got ed onto Marv. She can have one copy of the gene and still be straight since she only has one copy, and in order for a recessive X-Linked trait to take effect in a woman, both copies MUST have the trait
It’s similar to how the ratio of colorblind males and females is so disproportionate! Males only need one copy for it to be present, which makes it more common than females, who need a copy of the trait on both chromosomes in order for it to become present.
u are a human of knowledge my good friend 🤧
