∙ 14y agoX-linked traits are transferred from parents, or a parentto their offspring on the X Chromosome. That is the biggest difference--as opposed to being located on any chromosome, X-linked traits are only transferred on X Chromosomes. A common X-linked trait is actually colorblindness. Often, X-linked traits or disorders are recessive; since men have only one X chromosome (because they are XY), they are often more prone to X-linked disorders, whereas women, who have two X chromosomes, often become "carriers"--that is, they have one X chromosome with a certain trait, but the other X chromosome has a dominant trait that masks the manifestation of the other trait.

What was the purpose of Mendel's experiments the dihybrid crosses?
He wanted to determine if traits affected each other, and concluded (based on his observations) that they did not. + To find out if traits could affect the inheritance of other traits. to determine if traits affected each other
What did Gregor Mendel do with experimental results that other scientists of his time did not do?
He studied the inheritance of relatively simple, easily detected traits.
Specialization form of inheritance?
Inheritance refers to the concept by which the features from one class can be extended/made available in other classes. Java supports 3 forms of inheritance * Single Inheritance * Multiple Inheritance * Multilevel Inheritance (Can be implemented using interfaces)
How did Mendel's use of purebred plants for example purebred white and purebred purple-flowered peas-contribute his understanding of inheritance?
Gregor Mendel took two different colored pea plants: one had traits for white plants and the other had traits for a red plant. When Mendel cross bred the two plants, a plant with traits for a pink plant grew. This is how Mendel contributed to the understanding of inherited traits.
What contrasting traits die the peas plant in the p generation exhibit?
If you mean just flower color, then you are speaking about one trait. He was trying to see which color was dominate or recessive. The same was true for height. If he did this for two (flower color and height) he was looking at combined traits. He wanted to know how these traits were inherited and what patterns they followed. He studied seven traits that seemed to be inherited separately. His work lead to the Laws of Inheritance.

What evidence did Mendel find that supported his law of independent assortment?
Different traits are passed on independently of each other.
What Two different traits on different chromosomes have no influence on each other's inheritance?
Law of independent assortment
What did Gregor Mendel do with experimental results that other scientists of his time did not do?
He studied the inheritance of relatively simple, easily detected traits.
What is true about George Mendel's peas?
I believe that you mean Gregor Mendel. He used peas to show dominant vs. recessive inheritance by noting their flower color. His observations were unappreciated for many years, but we now know that he was the first to systematically show the relationship between inheritance of traits, and how some traits are dominant over other traits.
Why do sex-linked trait follow different pattern of inheritance than other traits?
males and females have different sex chromosomes
What principle states that gamete formation genes for different traits separate without influencing each other's inheritance?
principle of independent assortment
When Mendel studied traits how did his methods differ from those of other scientists?
Mendel called the more common traits "dominant" and the less common ones "recessive."-Sami. (:
Who invented the three laws of biological inheritance?
There is no known "inventor" of the laws of biological inheritance, like other laws of nature, they were discovered. Mendel is the person you are most likely looking for. For more information, look up Mendelian Laws of Inheritance.
