Sex-linked traits have alleles that are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome.
What else can I help you with?
Alleles passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome is called what?
These alleles are called sex-linked alleles or traits.
What are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome?
They are sex-linked genes.
What are alleles passed from parent to child on a sex chromosomes?
They are sex-linked genes.
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.
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 Traits or features that a parent passes to a child are called?
Alleles
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 is a trait that is passed from parent to child on the X chromosome called?
Recessive traits on X chromosome are expressed in males because they have only one copy of X chromosome. If they have any recessive gene it will be expressed. In female both the genes should be recessive then only the recessive character will be expressed.
Is huntington's disease a chromosome disorder?
Yes- it is transmitted from parent to child by a chromasome.
How do you know whether the chromosome passed from father is Y or X?
The sex of an individual is determined by the combination of sex chromosomes received from their parents. Typically, females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). To determine whether the chromosome passed from the father is Y or X, the presence of a Y chromosome can be identified through genetic tests, such as a karyotype analysis or DNA sequencing.
In which parent does the chromosome change to make it a boy?
It is the father's chromosomes that determine the child's sex.
