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.

Alleles


A trait which is inherited on sex chromosomes is?

Color blindness is an example of a trait that is inherited on sex chromosomes. It is passed down on the X chromosome, and males are more likely to be colorblind because they have only one X chromosome.


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.


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.


What does a parent contribute with 23?

A parent contributes 23 chromosomes to the genetic makeup of their child. This set of chromosomes carries hereditary information that influences traits such as physical characteristics, personality, and susceptibility to certain health conditions. Together with the other parent’s 23 chromosomes, they create a complete set of 46 chromosomes, establishing the foundation for the child's genetic identity.


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.


How many chromosomes do the parents have?

A mother have 46 chromosomes and a father have 46 chromosomes when they come together in fertilization these chromosomes splits 23 from the mother (egg) and 23 from the father (sperms) and so forming the new zygote which is the baby with 46 chromosomes
