the difference between learned behavior and inherited traits is leared behavior non of your gens will run in your family. And inherited traits most of or (all of) your gene will run in your family in other words your inherited traits will be pass down from genration to genration

∙ 12y agoSex-linked traits are found on sex chromosomes (X and Y in humans) - which means that the different sexes have different chances of having the trait.
For example, if a gene is located on the Y chromosome (which few are, as it is quite small compared to the X chromosome) - then only males can have that gene.
Sex-influenced traits are traits that are expressed differently in the different sexes, despite them having the same genotype. An example of this would be pattern baldness, if a male has Bb, he will go prematurely bald. However, a female with the same alleles, Bb is very unlikely to have the same kind of baldness (but it is still possible). These traits are found on the autosomes (non-sex chromosomes).

∙ 13y agoIts been a while since I studied inheritance, but a sex-linked trait is a trait with its alleles on the sex chromosomes (X or Y). I'm not too sure about the sex limited traits though, hopefully someone will come along who knows the answer.

∙ 9y agoGenes of sex linked traits are located on sex chromosomes .There transmission is different from other characters called autosomal traits . Sex linked recessive diseases are more common in males as compared to females due to their specific transmission e.g. color blindness .

∙ 12y agoA sex-influenced trait means a trait turns on or off depending on your sex (male or female) a sex-linked trait is a trait found on a sex chromosome.

How is sex linked traits are different than autosomal traits?
Sex linked traits are of 2 types X linked ,which are transmitted from maternal grand parent to maternal grand children through carrier daughter , and Y linked are transmitted from father to son , whiles autosomal genes transmit equally among children .
Are there superscripts on the Y chromosome?
Sex linked is general term both for X linked and Y linked traits . Traits present only on Y chromosomeare also called Hollandric .
Does autosome chromosomes control sex-linked traits?
No they don't, the autosomes are non sex linked chromosomes.
What is an X linked traits?
An X-linked recessive trait is coded for by a gene on the X-chromosome and is not dominant (is canceled out by the presence of a different allele). Example of X-linked recessive traits are; Haemophilia A & B and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
What did the similarities between fossil animals and modern animals suggest to Darwin?
In brief, those similarities Darwin observed suggested that those animals that he saw in fossil form passed along useful traits to modern animals. These traits had been selected by nature (natural selection) because of their value to newer generations.
How are sex-linked traits inherited?
Sex-linked traits are inherited from the organism's parents.
What are some similarities between dominant and recessive traits?
Similarty: They both come from inherited parents.
A trait controlled by a gene on the sex chromosome is know as a?
Sex-linked traits
Are sex linked traits also called X-linked traits?
Because the Y chromosome is so small and has relatively few genes, most sex-linked traits are governed by genes of the X sex chromosome, and are therefore X-linked.
What is the difference between sex linked and sex-influenced traits.?
Sex linked traits are actually carried on the sex chromosomes (x and y). So, clearly female can never get a trait that is on the y chromosome. Many diseases tend to be sex linked traits, and many are recessive. Sex influenced traits just mean that the trait is different for each gender, not directly on the sex chromosomes. Balding, for instance, is different among men and women. A woman needs to have 2 balding genes (one from each parent) in order to bald, while a man only needs one. This is why it is also said that for men the balding comes from the mom's side of the family. This is somewhat false unless your mother herself is bald, because other wise you don't know if you inherited the balding gene from her or not.

Where are sex linked traits found?
Most commonly sex linked traits are on the X chromosome, but rarely they can occur on the Y chromosome.
What are the Filipino traits influenced by the Arabs?
Some Filipino traits influenced by Arabs include a strong sense of hospitality, respect for elders, and a deep sense of family ties. Additionally, concepts of modesty and a strong work ethic are also influenced by Arab culture.
What do slashes mean in sex linked traits?
Slashes in what? I don't know of any connection or notation for sex-linked traits involving slashes.
How x linked traits affect the inheritance of sex linked traits?
Females have 2 X chromosomes so the X-linked genes follow the same rules of dominance & recessivity as the genes on the autosomes.
How is sex linked traits are different than autosomal traits?
Sex linked traits are of 2 types X linked ,which are transmitted from maternal grand parent to maternal grand children through carrier daughter , and Y linked are transmitted from father to son , whiles autosomal genes transmit equally among children .
Do males or females often suffer from bad sex-linked traits?
Often is certainly the wrong word. Such 'bad sex-linked traits' are considered rare.
