Trisomy 18 is a form of chromosomal aberration. It is neither recessive nor dominant. Neither does it show co-dominance or incomplete dominance factor. It arises due to the presence of an extra chromosome 18 in the somatic cells.

If a daughter expresses an x-linked recessive gene she inherited the trait from?

If a daughter expresses an X-linked recessive gene, she inherited the trait from her father who carries the gene on his X chromosome. Since males only have one X chromosome, if they have the gene, daughters will always inherit it from their father.


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.


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.
