But is there any interaction between a man's
x and y chromosomes? If so, could such interaction
cause mutation? For example, my sons are mixed
race and therefore may have quite diverse
compliment of x and y chromosomes. Would
this more likely cause mutation as opposed
when parents are from more similar genetic
backgrounds?`

Hopefully this relates to the subject.
Being a newbie has its difficulties.
