From what I have learned so far in my college studies, baldness is a genetic trait inherited from your mother. Someone correct me if im wrong. Pretty sure im not as its still fresh in my mind

I believe current thinking is that MPB is just about equally likely to be inherited from either parent's side of the family:

Go to your doctor, tell him/her you think your balding. He/she will either send you to a dermatologist if he/she is not sure or will just give a prescription for Propecia[too expensive] but ask him/her for generic 5mg Finasteride, it's much cheaper. Buy a 1 year supply of Kirkland's Minoxidil. Cut the 5mg pills of Fin in to 4 pieces with a pill cutter which you can get in any pharmacy[that's what I do], when you want to take the pill. Take 1/4 of the pill daily. Use Minox on your scalp[not on your hair, on your scalp] twice a day, once in the morning, once in the night. Do this for 1 year, if you like the results, keep doing it. If you don't like the results, keep doing it anyway, because if you stop then you'll just go back to losing hair, and you don't want that, do you? Go on. Do what I just said. Your hair will at least stop falling, but you're young so you can see regrowth.

Either your professor is wrong or you misunderstood. It can be inherited from both sides of your family with the maternal side being only slightly more responsible. See this link from Dr. Robert Bernstein's website. He is one off the foremost experts on hair loss and restoration.

My father had a thick head of hair. But I went bald at 30.
Baldness comes from your mother's side. IE, if your grand-dad was bald, most likely you will be, too.
Like mine was.

If your hair loss is MPB, then it's in your family somewhere. It just may not have been expressed in recent generations, so you haven't seen it.

Yeah guess it's lurking away in the family history somewhere
