Y Chromosome DNA - Males can test their Y-DNA to determine the origin
of their paternal line. Females do
not receive Y-DNA, and therefore females cannot be tested for the paternal line.
If you are a female and would like to know about your paternal line, you would
need to have a brother or a male relative from that line tested.

Mitochondrial DNA - Both males and females can test their
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to determine the origin of their
maternal line. The mtDNA strictly checks the maternal line, with no
influence from any males along that line. Men and women both receive their mtDNA
from their mother.
