WHY does it MATTER if you are male OR FEMALE ?

The type of DNA test you can take depends on your gender. The Paternal Lineage test analyzes DNA found on Y-chromosome which is present only for males.
The Maternal Lineage test analyzes DNA found in mitochondria, which is present in both females and males.

CHOOSING Y-33 vs Y-46

The Paternal Lineage Y-chromosome 33 test is recommended because it provides the minimum number of markers needed to obtain a meaningful match between participants.

You may choose the Y-chromosome 46 test if you want to further narrow the span of generations for finding a common ancestor with another participant's Y-46 test.

Female (Maternal ) Lineage

Matching your maternal lineage results can help you find participants who share your ancient ancestry. Maternal test can determine whether participants are NOT related by having one or more result mismatches.
