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.
When are sex link traits due to occur?
Traits caused by proteins coded for on the sex (X and/or Y) chromosomes.
Are sex-linked traits that are recessive phenotypes most often seen in men or woman?
men
An example of a sex-linked trait?
The best known examples in humans are color-blindness and muscular dystrophy. Males are the ones that are the most vulnerable because the Y chromosome is shorter than the X chromosomes that females have.
What is a true of sex linked inherited diseases such as hemophilia?
Yes, as in only males can have hemophilia.
What is the main reason that sex-linked disorder are most often observed in males?
Males are most likely to have the disorder.
What is the main reason sex linked disorders are the most often observed in males?
Males are most likely to have the disorder.
Why is it that males show sex-linked disorders easier than females?
Because most of the sex linked inheritance is in X linked rececieve gene. When that rececieve gene is carried to produce boy baby, the traits which are present in X rececieve will be co- dominant to Y.
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.
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.
If a characteristic is X-linked it?
occurs most commonly in males
Where are sex linked chromosomes most often carried?
In humans, most sex linked traits are carried on the X sex chromosome.

How do you know if a characteristic or disorder is sex linked?
If it occurs most commonly in males, or if the mother is a carrier.
