get a test

Sex-linked and Recessive
How does a person inherit hemophilia and is it dominant or recessive?
It is a sex-linked recessive trait inherited from the mother.
Who always wins a dominant gene or a recessive gene?
The dominant gene always win because it is represented by upper case letters. And the recessive genes loses all the time because it is represented by a lower case letter.A dominant gene in most cases. If it an autosomal trait (on body cells) in all cases the dominant gene will win. In the case with x, sex linked recessive traits the recessive trait will appear in males if only one gene is presentA dominant gene in most cases. If it an autosomal trait (on body cells) in all cases the dominant gene will win. In the case with x, sex linked recessive traits the recessive trait will appear in males if only one gene is present
Why are x linked alleles expressed in males even if they are recessive?
X-linked are not recessive nor dominant. X-linked just do not show. On the sex-linked chromosomes the Y chromosome of the X-Y pair dominates the trait whether its recessive or dominant!Actually, all x-linked alleles are expressed because males only have one x-chromosome, so whatever is there, dominant or recessive, is expressed.
Are sex-linked traits that are recessive phenotypes most often seen in men or woman?
men
What is a trait that is passed from parent to child on the X chromosome called?
Recessive traits on X chromosome are expressed in males because they have only one copy of X chromosome. If they have any recessive gene it will be expressed. In female both the genes should be recessive then only the recessive character will be expressed.
Why would recessive traits be more common on boys than girls?
Only sex-linked recessive traits on the X sex chromosome are more common in males. This is because males receive only one X chromosome, so they cannot be heterozygous for a trait on the X chromosome. Females inherit two sex chromosomes, so they can be heterozygous, receiving both a dominant and a recessive allele on the X chromosomes.
Which statement concerning the concept of sex linkage in humans is correct?
Hemophilia and color blindness are examples of recessive sex-linked traits
