What has alleles that are passed parent to child on a sex chromosome?

Sex-linked traits have alleles that are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome.


Alleles passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome is called what?

These alleles are called sex-linked alleles or traits.


What is passed from parent to child on sex chromosomes?

A parents sex chromosomes hold DNA. A parents DNA is passed onto the child.

Sex-linked traits have alleles that are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome.


What is the Traits or features that a parent passes to a child are called?

Alleles


What types of chromosomes does each parent pass on to a child?

Each parent gives a baby 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes to the offspring


Are all genes passed on from each parent to each child?

Only half of each parent's alleles are passed to their children. This means that parent 1 who is Aa at one gene locus will only pass A or a on to each offspring. Parent 2 may be AA, aa or Aa and will also only pass one allele on to each offspring.


What is the number of chromosomes in a meiosis parent cell?

In humans, 46. 23 are passed from each parent to their child.


Can a girl having o positive blood group have a child with a person having AB positive blood group?

No. Only 1 allele each can be passed down from each parent, so it is impossible for the child to have 2 dominant alleles if 1 parent has blood group 0.


What number of chromosomes is contributed by each parent to a cell of a baby?

In humans, each parent contributes 23 chromosomes.In general, each parent of any species contributes the haploid number of chromosomes, which is the number of chromosomes in a single set of chromosomes.


Is it possible to have a child that is O blood group from a father with A blood group and mother B blood group?

The short answer is YES. To explain as simply as possible; Each of us inherits a set of genes from each parent, a set of alleles from each parent; in the case of blood type, the alleles that may be present at the site on the chromosome responsible for blood type may be either A,B, or O (O actually being the absence of A or B). In the above question, if one parent's alleles are A and O (remember, everyone has two alleles), their blood type is A; if the other parent's alleles are B and O, that parent types as B. If their child inherits the "O" allele from each parent, that child will be type O.


What is the process of the transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring?

Traits can be classified as autosomal dominant or recessive. A child receives alleles from each parent, a dominant trait requires one allele and a recessive requires both.
