A trait controlled by a gene on the sex chromosome is know as a?
Sex-linked traits
Genes that determine sex-linked traits in humans are found on the?
Y chromosome.
If a characteristic is sex-linked then where is the gene for it found?
Genes for sex-linked traits can be found on the sex chromosomes - X and Y. Almost all sex-linked traits are determined by the X chromosome, because it is much larger than the Y chromosome and can thus carry more genes. A few sex-linked traits are known on the Y chromosome, including - believe it or not - hairy ears.
A trait which is inherited on sex chromosomes is?
Sex-linked traits have alleles that are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome.
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.
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 do slashes mean in sex linked traits?

What are sex-linked traits?

What traits are sex-linked?
Traits caused by proteins coded for on the sex (X and/or Y) chromosomes.
Does autosome chromosomes control sex-linked traits?
No they don't, the autosomes are non sex linked chromosomes.
