Why are men more likely than women to be colorblind?
Yes. Because the colorblind trait is a sexlinked trait and is found in the X chromosome that is inherited from the mother, men that only have one X chromosome will develop colorblindness if the trait is found in this gene. For a woman to get it, she would need to have the colorblind gene on both x chromosomes. Therefore the girl´s dad would have to be colorblind and the mother at least a carrier.
Can males be carriers of sexlinked traits?
No. Carriers are people that carry the gene for something but exhibit no phenotype for it. Since males have no extra copy to hide a recessive trait, they cannot be carriers for sex linked traits.Answ2. Followers of this question should consult say haemophilia in wikipedia.com.
In a hybrid individual the trait that is covered and not expressed is the what trait?
recessive
What type of trait prevents the other type from being seen?
A recessive trait. When a recessive allele is with a dominant allele, only the dominanate trait can be seen.
What describes a trait that is covered over or dominated by another form of the trait and seems to disappear?
A trait that is covered over or dominated by another form of the trait and seems to disappear is called a recessive trait. In genetics, recessive traits only manifest when an individual has two copies of the recessive allele.
Is hemophilia a dominantrecessiv or a sex linked trait?
Sexlinked and recessive.
Is sickle cell anemia a sexlinked trait?
Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.
What are sexlinked genes?
Genes that are location on the sex chromosomes.
Is breast cancer a sexlinked gene?
absolutely not, these cancer cells can attack both men and women I don't know the answer to the question, but the previous answer, "absolutely not, these cancer cells can attack both men and women" does not answer it. Sex-linked traits/genes can appear in both men and women.
Is color blindness a dominant or a recessive trait?
Color blindness is a recessive trait, meaning that an individual needs to inherit two copies of the gene for color blindness (one from each parent) in order to be color blind. If an individual inherits only one copy of the gene, they are considered a carrier and will not exhibit color blindness.
Why are men more likely than women to be colorblind?
Yes. Because the colorblind trait is a sexlinked trait and is found in the X chromosome that is inherited from the mother, men that only have one X chromosome will develop colorblindness if the trait is found in this gene. For a woman to get it, she would need to have the colorblind gene on both x chromosomes. Therefore the girl´s dad would have to be colorblind and the mother at least a carrier.
Is it true that sexlinked recessive disorders are most often passed from mothers to sons?
true
Are sex-linked traits that are recessive phenotypes most often seen in men or woman?
Sex-linked recessive traits are most often seen in men. This is because men have only one X chromosome, so if they inherit a recessive allele for a sex-linked trait on their X chromosome, they will express the trait. Women, on the other hand, have two X chromosomes, so they need to inherit two copies of the recessive allele to express the trait.
Why is hemophilia considered to be sex-linked trait?
Because the mutated gene that causes this affliction in located on the X chromosome. It is recessive. That is why it affects more men than women. Men have this, XY, as their sex determinant and women have, XX, as their determinant. So, a recessive trait can be blocked by a dominant X in women but men have no such protection.
Does sickle cell disease require two allele or multiple alleles?
Sickle cell disease is an autosomal reccessive sexlinked trait so, a female msut have 2 recessive alleles to have the trait and a male needs only one allele (this is because there is no corresponding site for this allele on the Y chromosome. The female can be a carrier of the disorder with the defective allele on one X chromosome and a normal allele on the other X chromosome. Female carrriers can have a mixture of normal and abnormal redblood cells.
