Are all sex-linked traits located on the X chromosome?
No, not all sex-linked traits are located on the X chromosome. Some sex-linked traits can also be located on the Y chromosome.
What traits like colorblindness that are carried on the x chromosome are what genes?
Traits like colorblindness, hemophilia, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy are carried on the X chromosome. These traits are caused by mutations in specific genes located on the X chromosome, such as the OPN1LW and OPN1MW genes for colorblindness and the F8 and F9 genes for hemophilia.
Did Mendel find all the 7 traits on 7 different chromosome?
Gregor Mendel studied seven different traits in pea plants, but these traits were not necessarily found on seven distinct chromosomes. Instead, each trait is controlled by genes located on different chromosomes, and the principles of Mendelian genetics apply to the inheritance of these traits independently of their chromosomal location.
Why are most sex-linked traits found in the X chromosome?
Most sex-linked traits are found on the X chromosome because males have only one X chromosome, so any gene on the X chromosome will be expressed in males. In females, who have two X chromosomes, one X chromosome can compensate for any harmful gene on the other X chromosome.
Sex-linked traits A.Can be carried on the Y chromosome B. Affect males and females equally C. Can be carried on chromosome 20 D.A and B E. None of the above?
D. A and B. Sex-linked traits are carried on the sex chromosomes, with traits on the Y chromosome affecting males only. Males are more likely to express recessive sex-linked traits due to having only one copy of the X chromosome.
Are all sex-linked traits located on the X chromosome?
No, not all sex-linked traits are located on the X chromosome. Some sex-linked traits can also be located on the Y chromosome.
What are sub-units of a chromosome that determine specific traits are called?
gene (I think...) The units of a chromosome that code for traits are genes.
Which chromosome number does muscular dystrophy affect?
8 and 13
Where are sex linked traits found?
Most commonly sex linked traits are on the X chromosome, but rarely they can occur on the Y chromosome.
What are the parts of a chromosome that control inherited traits?
The parts of a chromosome that control inherited traits is referred to as genes. There are many types of inherited traits, some visible while the others are invisible,
What does heredity include?
traits,chromosome,and phenotype

Who do males inherit sex-linked recessive traits from?
Males inherit sex-linked recessive traits from their mothers. This is because males have an X chromosome from their mother and a Y chromosome from their father, so any recessive traits on the X chromosome will be expressed in males.
What is the term for traits that are carried on the sex chromosome?
The term for traits that are carried on the sex chromosomes is "sex-linked traits." These traits are often associated with genes located on the X or Y chromosome, and they can exhibit different inheritance patterns in males and females due to the presence of two X chromosomes in females and one X and one Y chromosome in males. An example of a sex-linked trait is color blindness, which is commonly linked to the X chromosome.
What is the Specific units of a chromosome that carry individual traits?
genes
