The role of parents is very important in the success of children, but did you know that whether the intelligence inherited by children is passed on from the mother or from the father?

Children get their intelligence from their mother. The claim came from a study highlighted by Psychology Spot that found that children should be grateful to their mothers for their intelligence.

The common belief is that intelligence is inherited from both father and mother to children, but research has shown that specific genes work differently, and that their functions depend on whether They are from the mother or from the father.

The genes that determine intelligence are located on chromosome X, and since women have 2X chromosomes and males have only one, children are twice as likely to pass on intelligence from mother to child.

Researchers have found that children’s IQ can be predicted from a mother’s IQ, taking into account their IQ, race, education and socioeconomic status.

Regardless of scientific considerations, it is logically possible to explain that a wise mother raises intelligent children.
