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 .
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.
Who was credited with developing the branch of biology now called genetics?
what is the term for traits that are carried on the sex chromosomes
When are sex link traits due to occur?
Traits caused by proteins coded for on the sex (X and/or Y) chromosomes.
What is x linked trait?
Normally sex-linked traits are carried only on the X chromosome, meaning a sex-linked gene can only be inherited from the father's X or the two mother's X's. However, there are occasions where the trait is carried down by the Y chromosome, meaning only the males would inherit it, and it would be expressed. This is very uncommon because the Y chromosome carries very little genetic material/information in comparison to the Y chromosome.
What traits like colorblindness that are carried on the x chromosome are what genes?
Traits carried on the x chromosome are said to be sex-linked
Where are sex linked chromosomes most often carried?
In humans, most sex linked traits are carried on the X sex chromosome.
Sex-linked traits A.Can be carried on the Y chromosome B. Affect males and females equally C. Can be carried on chromosome 20 D.A and B E. None of the above?
It's A, sex linked traits can be carried by either X or Y chromosomes.
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 condition is carried on a chromosome other then the sex chromosome?
The gene that causes cystic fibrosis is located on chromosome 7, which is an autosome, not a sex chromosome.
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.
Sex linked traits are primarily found in?
Males, because they have one X chromosome, in which the traits are carried on. Therefore, if they have one allele they will have that trait because they do cannot have another allele to affect it.
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 .
What is a trait that is passed from parent to child on the X chromosome called?

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.
