True (according to Chacha Answers)
Mendel's principle of independent assortment does not apple to linked genes. (ex. X-linked genes)
No, genes located on the autosomes are not called sex linked genes. Only genes located on the sex chromosomes are called sex linked genes.
Sex-linked genes are on the X and/or Y chromosomes.
The genes present on same chromosomes are sometimes linked to each other that inherit collectively are linked genes and can be separated by crossing over
Genes on the same chromosome are said to be linked.
sex-linked genes
Yes
Most sex-linked genes are found on the X chromosome
Linked genes are closely located on the chromosome while unlinked genes not closely located. Linked genes travel together as a result of their closeness while unlinked genes move randomly.
genes located on sex chromosomes are called sex-linked genes. In humans, there are two types of sex chromosomes: X and Y chromosomes.Genes located on the X chromosome are called X-linked and genes located on the Y chromosome are called Y-linked chromosomes.
Sex-linked genes, genes found on one of the sex chromosomes (X or Y) but not the other. Most sex-linked genes are X-linked because the female chromosome is longer.
