No, a gene is either autosomal or sex-linked, but never both.

What is an autosomal dominant trait?
When the gene is dominant and the traits are autosomal.
What it Autosomal recessive?
gene that is not strong
Does FAP follow a recessive or dominant inheritance pattern and why?
FAP follows both an autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant pattern depending on which gene you inherit the disease from. If inherited through the APC gene, which is most common, it is autosomal gdthe disease. If inherited through the MUTYH gene it is autosomal recessive, meaning that both parents were carriers of the disease or they both were living with the disease.
What is the method of transmission of the sickle cell gene?
autosomal recessive
IS Huntington's disease an autosomal recessive gene?
Nope. Dominant
Is type 1 diabetes a sex linked gene?
No it is autosomal
Is leukemia a dominant or recessive gene?
It depends on the family but I assume that its a recessive gene.
Who can be carrier of autosomal disorder?
females
If you are working with a gene that is autosomal dominantis it still possible to have expression of the wild type as well as the disease gene?
Actually, this is often the case.There are two ways a gene can be autosomal dominate:1. gene dosage effectsBoth copies of the gene are necessary to produce enough protein for the cell to function properly.2. dominate negativeThe dominate allele produces a protein product that preferentially binds to the target but is non functional.In both cases the WT protein is still being expressed (unless both alleles are the mutant).
How many alleles does each person have for an autosomal gene?
Two, one from each parent.
Is cystic fibrosis a candidate good for gene therapy?
yes it is. The the gene involved is known (CFTR) The tissues affected are known it is autosomal recessive
Sickle-cell anemia is a disease passed by autosomal recessive inheritance. What is the likelihood that a person who has two parents with the disease will be a carrier of the defective gene?
It is 100% possible that a person who has two parents with the disease will be a carrier of the defective gene.
