Is color blindness a sex linked disorder explain?
colorblindess is a sex-linked recessive trait. This means the females that are colorblind will give ALL male offspring colorblindness. colorblindness is on the X , so the male gets on X from mom and the Y from dad. So the male will have and affected X that he got from the mother
Why do you sex linked traits follow different patterns of inheritance then other traits?
Males and females have different sex chromosomes.
What is the difference between recessive disorders and dominant disorders?
A sex linked dominant trait could be on the X chromosome of either parent and the phenotype of any individual carrier would be that of the dominant trait. A father with the dominant characteristic on his single X chromosome would produce daughters that are 100% carriers and would not pass the characteristic on to his sons. A mother who is a dominant X linked carrier would pass the dominant characteristic on to half hersons and half her daughters all of which would show the trait phenotypically. A sex linked recessive father would produce 100% carrier daughters. His sons would not get the recessive allele from him. A sex linked recessive carrier (heterozygous) mother would pass the trait on to 50% of her children and 50% of her sons would show the recessive trait genetics.
Will a male be able to give X-linked genes to his daughter?
There are two sex chromosomes ... X and Y. Females have two X genes (XX) and males have XY. Therefore, a male MUST pass his X chromosome to his daughter ... otherwise, he'd have a son instead.
Why do you have females?
because they can seduce a male in bed
What gender inherits the y-linked trait?
male, their sex chromosomes are XY, females are always XX

Why can females but not males be carriers of sexlinked genetic disorders?
Several genetic disorders are caused by genes on the X chromosomes.
Who generally inherits sex-linked traits?
In humans there is a higher incidence of male children who phenotypically diplay a sex-linked trait. The inheritence level in females is about equal to that of the males but, because they have two X chromosomes they carry it genotypically but not phenotypically.
Why is homphilia more common in males then females?
It is an X-linked genetic disorder. Since males are XY and females are XX, it is a higher possibility that either parent is carrying the hemophilia allele which affects the X in either male / female or both.
Are male cheetahs bigger than the females or are females bigger than the males?
Male cheetahs are generally larger than females.
Is there more male or females working as teachers?
females
A dominant x linked trait would be more common in males or females?
If the trait is recessive and on the male chromosome (Y), then it is impossible for females to get it since they do not possess a Y chromosome. If you meant a recessive sex-linked trait on the X chromosome (like male pattern baldness), then males are still more likely to get it since they only receive one X chromosome and if it is affected they would automatically have the trait (whereas females have 2 copies and would only have the trait if both parents passed on chromosomes containing the recessive allele.) Females can be carriers, though. If they are a carrier (have one affected X chromosome) for the trait then their male children would have a 50% chance of inheriting the trait and their female children would have a 50% chance of becoming carriers.
Why do you sex linked traits follow different patterns of inheritance then other traits?
Males and females have different sex chromosomes.
Do male platypuses have darker fur than females?
No. Male platypuses do not have darker fur than females.
Does a male parakeet sit on the eggs?
Male parakeets cannot lay eggs--only females can.
Who is bigger female or male?
Male. But it is the females that bite you.
