It is a gene located on either sex chromosome (X or Y chromosome).
What else can I help you with?
Is apert syndrome autosomal or sexlinked?
Apert syndrome is a autosomal dominant genetic disorder, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene from either parent is necessary to inherit the condition. It is not sex-linked.
What are sexlinked genes?
Genes that are location on the sex chromosomes.
Is hemophilia a dominantrecessiv or a sex linked trait?
Sexlinked and recessive.
Is breast cancer a sexlinked gene?
absolutely not, these cancer cells can attack both men and women I don't know the answer to the question, but the previous answer, "absolutely not, these cancer cells can attack both men and women" does not answer it. Sex-linked traits/genes can appear in both men and women.
Is it true that sexlinked recessive disorders are most often passed from mothers to sons?
true
Why can females but not males be carriers of sexlinked genetic disorders?
Several genetic disorders are caused by genes on the X chromosomes.
Is sickle cell anemia a sexlinked trait?
Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.
Is color blindness a dominant or a recessive trait?
Color blindness is a recessive trait, meaning that an individual needs to inherit two copies of the gene for color blindness (one from each parent) in order to be color blind. If an individual inherits only one copy of the gene, they are considered a carrier and will not exhibit color blindness.
Why are men more likely than women to be colorblind?
Yes. Because the colorblind trait is a sexlinked trait and is found in the X chromosome that is inherited from the mother, men that only have one X chromosome will develop colorblindness if the trait is found in this gene. For a woman to get it, she would need to have the colorblind gene on both x chromosomes. Therefore the girl´s dad would have to be colorblind and the mother at least a carrier.
A gene that can be masked by another gene is called?
A gene that can be masked by another gene is referred to as a recessive gene. This means that the trait associated with the recessive gene is expressed only when two copies of the gene are present.

What nicknames does Gene Patton go by?
