When the trait is on the X-chromosomes what is it called?
It is a sex-linked trait. Genes only found on the X chromosome can result in sex-linked traits. In humans these include hemophilia and color blindness.
What does it mean a trait is said to be sex-linked?
Generally the trait is on the X chromosome, as the Y is rather small and full of deleterious mutations and has few working genes. But and trait that is located on a sex chromosome is said to be sex linked. Naturally, women have two, XX, chromosomes, so ore protected statistically from many sex linked recessive disorders.
Is blinking an inherited trait?
Blinking is an inherited trait
Why am i a boy shouldn't i be a girl?
You are a boy because your sex chromosomes shows XY, which is what you have inherited from your parents.
How can you explain the inheritance of sex-linked traits?
The X chromosome information is expressed than the y chromosome so what ever X chromosome is passed to the male offspring it will be expressed in the male. Rarely it is ever expressed in female offspring because that chromosome with sex-trait is less dominant than the other X-chromosome she has.
What is a trait that is determined by a gene found on one of the sex chromosomes?
A sex linked trait.
What is allele inherited on sex chromosomes?
Sex-linked gene
What kind of cross is it when a trait is passed on thhe sex chromosomes?
This is called a sex-linked trait.
What is sex-link?
A sex-linked trait is a trait governed by genes on only one of the two sex chromosomes.
What makes something a sex linked trait instead of just a regular trait?
A sex linked trait can only be found on the x chromosome such as hemophilia, color blindness, and muscular dystrophy. These are traits that can only be inherited through chromosomes instead of regular traits coming through genes.
What is the defineion to sex linked trait?
A sex linked trait is from a gene that is on either the x or y chromosomes
What part of a cell contains information about a single inherited trait?
I think it is chromosomes.
What makes something a sex-linked trait instead of just a regular trait?
A sex linked trait can only be found on the x chromosome such as hemophilia, color blindness, and muscular dystrophy. These are traits that can only be inherited through chromosomes instead of regular traits coming through genes.
Somatic mutations occur in sex chromosomes and can be inherited?
true
Is genetic diversity due entirely to inherited genes on the sex chromosomes?
No, because genetic diversity has nothing to do with the sex chromosomes but is due to crossing-over of chromosomes independent assortment of chromosomes, and segregation of chromosomes
When the trait is on the X-chromosomes what is it called?
It is a sex-linked trait. Genes only found on the X chromosome can result in sex-linked traits. In humans these include hemophilia and color blindness.
Any trait regardless of weather or not it is Mendelian can also be sex linked if it is carried on one of the sex chromosomes, how does this affect the inheritance of the trait?
it dosent
