Males have only one X chromosome, so a recessive X-linked trait will be displayed in the phenotype [visible on the outside]. Females have two X chromosomes, so both of the chromosomes must have the trait for it to be displayed on the phenotype.
What else can I help you with?
Are sex linked traits more or less likely to show up in males?
Sex-linked traits are more likely to show up in males because they are located on the X chromosome. Males only have one X chromosome, so a recessive allele on the X chromosome will be expressed, whereas females have two X chromosomes and would need to inherit two recessive alleles to express the trait.
Why are males most likely to express a sex linked trait?
Males have only one X chromosome, so a recessive X-linked trait will be displayed in the phenotype [visible on the outside]. Females have two X chromosomes, so both of the chromosomes must have the trait for it to be displayed on the phenotype.
Why are males more likely than females to have a sex linked traits that are recessive?
Because they olny have one X chromosome.
Why are males more likely than female to have a sex linked trait that is recessive?
Because they olny have one X chromosome.
Why are males more likely to get recessive sex linked disorder?
Males are more likely to get recessive sex-linked disorders because they have only one X chromosome, meaning they will display the disorder if that X chromosome carries the recessive gene. Females, on the other hand, have two X chromosomes which can often mask the presence of the disorder if one X chromosome carries a normal allele.
Since red - green color weakness is recessive and sex linked the incidence of this color weakness is likely to be greatest among what?
Males
How do you know if a trait is sex linked dominant or sex linked recessive?
A trait is sex-linked dominant if it appears in every generation and affects both males and females. It is sex-linked recessive if it skips generations, more common in males, and passed from carrier females to affected males. Mendelian inheritance patterns can help determine if a trait is sex-linked dominant or sex-linked recessive.
Why are x linked alleles expressed in males even if they are recessive?
X-linked are not recessive nor dominant. X-linked just do not show. On the sex-linked chromosomes the Y chromosome of the X-Y pair dominates the trait whether its recessive or dominant!Actually, all x-linked alleles are expressed because males only have one x-chromosome, so whatever is there, dominant or recessive, is expressed.
Why were heterozygous individuals called carriers for non-sex-linked and x-linked recessive patterns of inheritance?
I don't know and don't care
Is color blind dominant or recessive?
recessive
Why are sex-linked traits more conman in males?
Because males have XY configuration of sex chromosomes and females XX. So in xy situation even the recessive gene can express. That is why sex-linked characters in males are more common than females.
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?
D. A and B. Sex-linked traits are carried on the sex chromosomes, with traits on the Y chromosome affecting males only. Males are more likely to express recessive sex-linked traits due to having only one copy of the X chromosome.
