Why do you sex linked traits follow different patterns of inheritance then other traits?

Verified answer
Males and females have different sex chromosomes.

∙ 7y agoThere are several reasons:
- Males only need one recessive allele to have a recessive sex-linked trait.
- Males and females have different sex chromosomes
- Males only have one X chromosome

∙ 13y agothe male and the female traits are different so therefore their patterns are different.

What can be determined from looking at a pedigree?
patterns of familial inheritance. patterns of sex-linked inheritance.
What are the four complex patterns of inheritance?
Autosomal dominant, Autosomal recessive, X-linked recessive and X-linked dominant
What are the names of some genetic inheritance patterns?
Types of dominance, multiple alleles, sex linked inheritance, polygenic inheritance and maternal inheritance.
Which type of inheritance involves traits linked to a sex chromosome?
It is called sex-linked inheritance. If the sex-linked gene is on the X sex chromosome, it is often called X-linked inheritance.
Why do linked genes generally NOT follow the normal pattern of inheritance?
When genes are linked, they are very likely to be inherited together - meaning that once one gene has been inherited, the chance that the other will be is not 50% (meaning it is not random like other genes). Because linked gene are not affected by crossing over. Thus these are not segregated according to the Mendel's principal of segregation.

What are some patterns of humans inheritance?
Autosomal dominant Autosomal recessive X linked recessive.
What are some patterns of inheritance in humans?
Autosomal dominant Autosomal recessive X linked recessive.
Identify three patterns of inheritance in humans?
The three most common and important patterns of inheritance in humans are; autosomal recessive, autosomal dominate, and x-linked recessive. There are, of course, other patterns but these are the best place to start since autosomal can be in either sex and x-linked are from the X-chromosome.
Why are heterozygous individuals called carriers for non-sex-linked and X-linked recessive patterns of inheritance?
I don't know and don't care

What is the difference between sex-linked and maternal inheritance?
they have different meanings
What is the opposite of independent assortment?
Linked gene inheritance. In humans, it is called x-linked inheritance; sex-linked inheritance is when the trait is carried on the X chromosome.
Which type of inheritance involves traits linked to a sex chromosome?
It is called sex-linked inheritance. If the sex-linked gene is on the X sex chromosome, it is often called X-linked inheritance.
