What is the Adam Gene?
An ADAM is a transmembrane protein that contains a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain and, therefore, it potentially has both cell adhesion and protease activities. Currently, the ADAM gene family has 29 members, although the function of most ADAM gene products is unknown.
Can our DNA be traced back to Adam and Eve?
Is this true? No, it is not true. Scientists can trace our maternal and paternal lines back to a woman and man who lived a long time ago, but they are not the Biblical Adam and Eve.
How is the Y chromosome inherited?
The X and Y chromosomes, also known as the sex chromosomes, determine the biological sex of an individual: females inherit an X chromosome from the father for a XX genotype, while males inherit a Y chromosome from the father for a XY genotype (mothers only pass on X chromosomes).
Did Eve have any daughters?

What DNA do fathers pass to daughters?
Men pass only the Y chromosome to their sons. He will always (100\% chance) pass on the gene that does not function properly to his daughters, because he only has one X chromosome, and he passes that X chromosome to all of his daughters.
What do males inherit from their mothers?
People usually have two copies of each chromosome. One copy is inherited from their mother (via the egg) and the other from their father (via the sperm). A sperm and an egg each contain one set of 23 chromosomes.
Did Adam and Eve have the same genes?
The answer to this question is “No.” Adam and Eve were identical twins and they each had two copies of every gene: one dominant and one recessive gene.
Who were Adam and Eve and what did they do?
According to the creation myth of the Abrahamic religions, Adam and Eve were the first man and woman and the ancestors of all humans.
Where did Eve come from?
The DNA held inside mitochondria can therefore reveal the maternal lineage to ancient ‘Eve’, who is believed to have lived in Africa between 99,000 and 148,000 years ago – almost the same time period during which the Y chromosome ‘Adam’ lived.
How can mitochondria reveal the lineage of an ancient Eve?
The DNA hidden inside mitochondria, therefore, can reveal the maternal lineage to an ancient Eve. But over time, the male chromosome gets bloated with duplicated, jumbled-up stretches of DNA, said study co-author Carlos Bustamante, a geneticist at Stanford University in California.
