What type of trait is linked to the X chromosome sex linked trait or Mendelian trait?

In humans, usually the X chromosome, because it is much larger. Very rarely does the Y chromosome carry them.
if you're asking about other animals, i have no idea. I do know that in chickens, Y is the female chromosome, and X is male, but i don't know if it changes the sex-linked trait situation

∙ 8y agoThe "X" and "Y" chromosomes carry traits that define gender. So any gene on these chromosomes may affect gender; these are called "sex-linked", or more properly, "gender-linked". An animal (and remember, humans are animals) cell that has two "X" chromosomes is female, while a cell with one "X" and one "Y" chromosome is male.
The other chromosomes can be found in either male or female organisms.

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.
A gene located on the X or Y chromosome is a?
Genes located on the X or Y chromosome are referred to as sex-linked genes. This is because the inheritance of these genes is dependent upon the sex of the individual. For example, only males can inherit genes located on the Y chromosome (because males have XY and females have XX).
What are the difference of mendelian genetics and non-mendelian genetics?
In Mendelian inheritance the allele has a one to one effect on the phenotype. A polygenic effect is given when many genes contribute in an additive fashion to the phenotype. Height is such and may have as many as eight genes contributing to the effect. Behavior is also of this type. Eye color is more Mendelian in nature.
What type's of traits exist?
Cardinal trait Central trait Secondary trait.
A somatic cell having two of each type of chromosome has chromosome number?
Diploid
Since the colorblindness is located on the X chromosome colorblindness?
Why is colorblindness a sex-linked trait? Descendants of colorblind hemophiliac man both disease are sex- linked? why do non of the children have either hemophila or colorblind
Snice the allele for colorblindness is located on the x chromosome which type of trait is colorblindness?
Sex linked
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 type of trait is hemophilia?
recessive sex-linked, X chromosome disorders, haemophilia is more likely to occur in males than females.
Which type of inheritance involves traits linked to a sex chromosome?
It is called sex-linked inheritance. If the sex-linked gene is on the X sex chromosome, it is often called X-linked inheritance.
What type of chromosome always carry gene for the same trait at the same location on both chromosome?
homologous chromosomes
What chromosome is affected by meckel syndrome?
Meckel Syndrome (type 1)is an autosomal recessive trait carried on chromosome 17.
What type of chromosome do most sex-linked traits occur on?
The chromosome is usually refered to as the "sex" chromosome. Chromosome #23. Also refered to as 'X' and 'Y'. XX for female, XY for male.
Which Type A personality characteristic is the key trait that is linked to heart disease?
hostility
What is X-linked?
In genetics, this refers to the phenotype of an allele that is related to the X-chromosome. It is a type of sex linkage.
What type of disorder is blindness?
Its a Sex-Linked Trait, so for girls it would be XCxC or XCXcfor it recessivly for boy (They have the greater chance of getting the trait because its only located on the X chromosome) so for boys its XCY for the trait and XcY for it recessivly
What gene or chromosome is mutated in the hemophilia disorder?
There are two types of hemophilia. Type A: A mutation in the factor VIII gene. Type B: A mutation in the IX gene.
