When God makes a promise, he fulfills it. Now if Jesus is the son of David, then the Y gene must come from David's loins in order for it to be fulfilled. It is God's promise, not man's promise.

Whether you take Luke's account of Mary's lineage or that of Joseph's lineage in Matthew, both of their fathers are directly tied to a son of David either Nathan in Luke or Solomon in Matthew. So biologically we see Jesus coming from Mary, but raised up by Joseph; a nice combination of nature and nurture completely of David, but if Mary had no Y chromosome, not even in her mtDNA or elsewhere stored in her when she was a zygote, then the biological aspects of Christ are 45 out of 46 chromosome's directly human from David's loins, the last chromosome would have been an immitation borrowed and copied from outside the lineage. Just as much if you broke a vase into 46 parts and lost the only one of those parts and went to the same region you got the clay, molded it and heated it to fit perfectly the reconstructed vase. The 45 parts of it are from the original, but it would still not be the original vase due to that last piece being only an imitation and exact replica of the original.
