Linked genes are genes that are located on the same chromosome, like eye colour and hair colour. Sex linked genes are genes that are located on the sex determination chromosome (X or Y) like colour vision is determined by the X chromsome.

Are genes located on the autosomal called sex linked genes?

No, genes located on autosomes are not considered sex-linked genes. Sex-linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes (X and Y) and usually show different inheritance patterns in males and females. Autosomes contain genes that are inherited equally by both sexes.

How are linked genes similar to sex linked genes how are they different?

Linked genes are genes that are located close to each other on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited together during meiosis. Similarly, sex-linked genes are located on the sex chromosomes (X or Y) and their inheritance patterns differ between males and females due to their chromosomal differences. The key difference is that while linked genes can be located on any chromosome, sex-linked genes are specifically associated with the sex chromosomes. Additionally, sex-linked traits often show distinct patterns of inheritance based on the sex of the individual, which is not necessarily the case for linked genes.
