Why do linked genes generally NOT follow the normal pattern of inheritance?

When genes are linked, they are very likely to be inherited together - meaning that once one gene has been inherited, the chance that the other will be is not 50% (meaning it is not random like other genes).
Because linked gene are not affected by crossing over. Thus these are not segregated according to the Mendel's principal of segregation.

Is hemophilia a pattern inheritance?
Hemophilia is a sex linked gene carried in the x chromosome.
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 can be determined from looking at a pedigree?
patterns of familial inheritance. patterns of sex-linked inheritance.
What are the names of some genetic inheritance patterns?
Types of dominance, multiple alleles, sex linked inheritance, polygenic inheritance and maternal inheritance.
What are the four complex patterns of inheritance?
Autosomal dominant, Autosomal recessive, X-linked recessive and X-linked dominant
Why do sex-linked trait follow different pattern of inheritance than other traits?
males and females have different sex chromosomes
What type of inheritance pattern are these rabbits likely displaying?
Types of dominance, multiple alleles, sex linked inheritance, polygenic inheritance and maternal inheritance.
Is hemophilia a pattern inheritance?
Hemophilia is a sex linked gene carried in the x chromosome.
What is the opposite of independent assortment?
Linked gene inheritance. In humans, it is called x-linked inheritance; sex-linked inheritance is when the trait is carried on the X chromosome.
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.
How x linked traits affect the inheritance of sex linked traits?
Females have 2 X chromosomes so the X-linked genes follow the same rules of dominance & recessivity as the genes on the autosomes.
Why do X linked genes have a different inheritance pattern than autosomal disorders?
Because ur stupid
A pattern of inheritance in which certain characteristics carried on the X chromosome inherited from the mother are transmitted differently to her male and female offspring is called inheritance?
Sex linked.
What is the least prevalent mode of inheritance?
x-linked dominant inheritance
Is hemophilia a sex-linked inheritance disease?
Yes, hemophilia is sex-linked.
What is the opposite of independence?
Linked gene inheritance. In humans, it is called x-linked inheritance; sex-linked inheritance is when the trait is carried on the X chromosome.
What can be determined from looking at a pedigree?
patterns of familial inheritance. patterns of sex-linked inheritance.
