Holandric means it is inherited exclusively through the male descent; transmitted through genes located on the Y chromosome in mammals.

ARe all Y-linked traits holandric?

No, not all Y-linked traits are holandric. Holandric traits specifically refer to traits that are carried on the Y chromosome and passed from father to son. While all holandric traits are Y-linked, the reverse is not necessarily true. Some Y-linked traits may not exhibit holandric inheritance patterns.


What is a trait determined by one gene?

No, actually many traits such as intelligence, height and skin color are polygeneic, meaning they are determined by more than one genes, so they don't come from one gene from both parents. And further going against the statement, TDF (Testis determining factor) is found only on the holandric part (non-homologous) of the Y chromosome, so that gene is only coming from one parent (the father).


Are polygenic genes dominant genes?

Polygenic genes are usually dominant genes.


Does prokaryotes have genes?

Of course they have genes. They need genes for survival and reproduction.


Do dominant genes affect recessive genes?

The dominant genes take over, and then the recessive genes hide away


Are linked genes genes located on the same chromosome?

Yes, linked genes are genes located on the same chromosome.


Are master genes and homeotic genes the same thing?

Master genes and homeotic genes are related but not the same. Homeotic genes are a specific type of master gene that regulate the development of anatomical structures in organisms, determining the identity of body parts. Master genes generally refer to genes that control the expression of other genes and play crucial roles in regulating developmental processes. Thus, while all homeotic genes are master genes, not all master genes are homeotic genes.


Which genes are dominant and which are recessive?

Dominant genes are always expressed in preference to recessive genes in cased where both genes are present.
