No it is not, if it were then I would be bald or my brother as both grandfathers were.... sometimes it isnt even inherited though most often it is.... I have seen some go bald, or at least a very receding hairline, at very young ages where there was none in there family for as far back as any one could recall...

It is true that susceptibility to hair loss is genetically determined. However, baldness can be inherited from either the maternal or paternal side of the family. It is generally felt that baldness is an orchestration of several genes. Baldness is a dominant trait and those who are born with the genes responsible will likely experience some hair loss in their lifetime

I don't know if it has any truth to it, but I've heard several people say that your baldness (or lack of) comes from your mother's father. If he was bald or balding, then you would likely be the same. Again, I don't know if this is an old tale or what.

That seems true in my case or at least thinning. Never seen a bald guy on my dads side, but one of my mom's bros was.

Yes, it's true.
The next bald boy will be the daughter's son.

not ONLY the mom's side of the family, but also how you take care of it.
hereditarily speaking, yes, the mom's side only.

No,may be from father's side also. And there may be other reasons also.

...also, the more body hair you have, the less hair you will ultimately have on your head.
