OFFSET
0,3
COMMENTS
The number of ancestors at generation m from whom a living individual may have received an X chromosome allele is F_m, the m-th term of the Fibonacci Sequence.
From Antti Karttunen, Oct 11 2017: (Start)
The starting offset is zero (with a(0) = 0) for the same reason that we have A003714(0) = 0. Indeed, b(n) = A054429(A003714(n)) for n >= 0 yields the terms of this sequence, but in different order.
