Children inherit their intelligence from their mother not their father, say scientists.
Genes for cleverness are carried on the X chromosome and may be deactivated if they come from the father.
Is there a debate here? Otherwise I’m sending this elsewhere.
Anecdotally, my kids inherited my intelligence, as well as my good looks.
Their mom contributed eye color.
Cite: I have the punnet square right here.
There’s your debate.
No-that’s an opening statement/link, followed by someone else’s anecdote.
It was a joke.
I couldn’t care less where this lands.
Resolved: Apathy is one of the most horrible problem facing millennials today.
I wish I was a millennial!
It’s not even true:
I always told my mother that I got my intelligence from her, because Dad still had his. 
Your mother must be proud!
Good job.
Why? He’s using her intelligence after all.

My mother always said I got my patience from my dad because she still had hers…
Well, at any rate, kids could get (assuming this posit) intelligence potential from their mother. I know a woman with Down Syndrome mosaicism, who graduated in my class in high school, who I always felt had a germ of intelligence, in spite of how much she struggled academically. She took basic and remedial courses, and just the bare minimum to qualify for graduation, and had lots of resource classes, but she had a basic grasp of something I can’t think of a word for. Anyway, she also had a sister who was very bright, and then went on to have a daughter who was also very bright, so I think she had the genetic potential to be bright, just something wrong with her brain because she had Down Syndrome, that interfered with her brightness in practice, but she still somehow had an intelligent personality, if that makes any sense.
