Can a mother pass on body odor to her daughter?

Body odor may be inherited from a mother to a daughter.

Body odor is genetically related, and the genes are located on chromosomes. If a mother carries a gene associated with body odor, there is a chance that she will pass it on to her daughter. However, even if the gene is inherited, it may not be fully manifested. This is related to the degree of gene expression. It may be evident in some individuals, while it is relatively mild or even absent in others.

In addition, although both men and women may inherit body odor, it may be relatively easy to manifest in women, possibly due to factors such as physiological characteristics and hormone levels of women.
