Girl (Relationship)
In the sense of kinship, the girl is the female child referred to in relation to her father or mother. The name is used either accompanied by a possessive pronoun, or with a complement. A daughter inherits two sets of identical chromosomes from each of her parents: 22 autosomes and one X chromosome. There is therefore a perfect symmetry between her chromosomes coming from her father and those from her mother. Today, in most western countries, a daughter has as many rights over her parents' inheritance as a son. Moreover, monarchies such as the United Kingdom give the daughter of the monarch a right to rule similar to that of the son: it is the order of birth that determines who inherits the crown. For a long time the monarchies gave the daughter of the monarch a right of transmission of the crown, but not the right of reigning herself. France, with the Salic law, gave the daughter of the crown no power to transmit power. In some Asian countries, many couples do not want to have a daughter.
