Study concludes that if a man wants smart sons his best bet is to marry a smart woman.

Growing evidence shows that several genes which determine intelligence appear to be located on the x chromosome, the one men inherit from their mothers .any mutation on the x chromosome has more effect on a man than a woman because a woman inherits x chromosomes from both her parents, which tends to dilute the gene’s impact. But a man only has one X chromosome inherited from his mother, which is paired with the smaller Y chromosomes from his father.

Therefore, an intelligence-enhancing X gene has more of a chance of becoming the predominant gene, determining the man’s basic intelligence, looks and character
