If it’s the mother then they are Jewish, if it’s the father they are not

I didn't know the genes for Judaism were located in the X chromosome.

This comes from the religious law. I don’t think it has anything to do with chromosomes. There are still families that traditionally believe that though, despite not being religious. I haven’t met many people who identify as Jewish or partially Jewish due to their father being Jewish though.
