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.

What decide a characteristic in a gene?
The death toll from a plane crash in northwestern Iran has risen to 77, news agencies in the country reported Monday.
Is an allele a trait that determines a specific characteristic in an organism?
Yes, an allele is a variant form of a gene that determines a specific characteristic or trait in an organism.
Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on heterologous chromosome true or false?
False. Alleles of a gene are found at the same locus on homologous chromosomes.
When will homozygous gene be expressed?
A cell can be described as being homozygous for a particular gene when there are identical genes on a pair of chromosomes (humans have 23 pairs). Under these conditions, we would see the expression of the gene under the homozygous condition. If the cell had a heterozygous condition, then there would not be identical genes found in the chromosome pair.
What chromosome is gene located for marfan syndrome?
The gene associated with Marfan syndrome is located on chromosome 15. It is called the FBN1 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein called fibrillin-1. Mutations in this gene can lead to the characteristic features of Marfan syndrome.
What is one of the alternative of a gene that governs a characteristic?
allele
A segment of chromosome responsible for a particular characteristic?

Is apert syndrome autosomal or sexlinked?
Apert syndrome is a autosomal dominant genetic disorder, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene from either parent is necessary to inherit the condition. It is not sex-linked.

What are sexlinked genes?
Genes that are location on the sex chromosomes.
How many sets of the same gene for every characteristic do offspring?
Two.
Is a segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein or characteristic.?
