Several studies have suggested that homosexuality may have a genetic component, and a specific region on the X chromosome has been linked to male homosexuality. Since males inherit their X chromosome from their mother, it is believed that homosexual men have more homosexual relatives on their mother's side. Additionally, research has found that female relatives of homosexual men have higher fecundity (ability to produce offspring) compared to female relatives of heterosexual men, suggesting that genes associated with homosexuality may also have a reproductive advantage in females.
