Scientists have discovered that a sizeable
minority of women have Y-chromosome gene
sequences in their blood. This is interesting
because as you may know, Y-chromosomes are
the chromosomes that belong to men, so ladies,
what are they doing there, and where did they
come from?
An obvious answer would be from pregnancy with
a male son, every woman who has been pregnant
still carries cells from her fetus within her
bloodstream. Cells from the pregnancy will reside
within the mother's bloodstream and organs for
the rest of her life. Even if the pregnancy was
terminated or if there was a miscarriage these
said genes would remain with the Mother. There
is a name for this so-called condition, it is called
microchimerism (1), which is named after the
Greek chimera, a mythical, monstrous fire-
breathing animal that is composed of the parts of
three animals a lion, a snake and a goat. Okay so
that explains it, well at least it does for the
women who have given birth to sons. But what
about the women without sons that still had male
cells in their bloodstream?
This called for a study (2) that was done by
immunologists at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer
Center in 2004. In this study they took samples
from 120 women who had never had sons. They
found that 21% of these women had male DNA.
The women were then categorized into 4 groups
according to pregnancy history: Group A had only
daughters, Group B had had one or more
miscarriage(s), Group C had induced abortions
and Group D had never been pregnant before. The
prevalence of male michrochimerism was
considerably greater in Group C although it was
still present in each group. Group A 8%, Group B
22%, Group C 57% and Group D 10%.

Hmmmm........everyday discovery!

To all the ladies that loves sleeping around, I'm sure some are carrying hundreds of Y chromosomes from different men.

Story

They obviously came from ladies having multiple sexual partners, imagine the market you'd have if you had a test that could use this to determine Partner count.....

Crap! Basically
