Does it not?
Babies do not in any way get there heritage blood from their mother, father only, the mother supplies the egg only.
Father supplies the heritage blood.

dna comes from each parent.
mitochondrial dna comes from the Mom.

when you speak of bloodline is not really about "blood" it is about dna and inherited human characteristics.
That's pretty much what I was saying earlier. DNA was discovered in the 50's when Watson and Crick put together their famous helical DNA model. For millenia before that, it was thought that the blood carried genetic lines. The Bible says that life is in the blood and that was thought to mean inheritance, not just the breathed oxygen so necessary to animal life.
It would be very interesting to know what Jesus' DNA was like. There are some who believe that the Holy Spirit implanted a complete fertilized egg in Mary so his DNA wasn't 'contaminated' by human DNA. However, the Bible refers to her continually as his mother and that makes him human, not a completely spiritual being. He also constantly called himself the son of man, descended from humans and with human DNA.
