What is the opposite of independent assortment?
Linked gene inheritance. In humans, it is called x-linked inheritance; sex-linked inheritance is when the trait is carried on the X chromosome.
How does the mode of inheritance affect the prediction and analysis of inheritance patterns?
There are lots of ways. A simple way is to do a Punnett Square. It's useful in studying independent inheritance patterns (multiple traits that are not on the same chromosome).
How does Mendel theory of inheritance support Darwins theory of natural selection?
By giving the theory a mechanism of inheritance. Particulate inheritance, where each parent contributes chromosomes ( Mendel dod not know what a chromosome was and called genes " factors " ) that contain separate alleles that contribute to the progeny's traits. Darwin's idea of " blending " inheritance was completely wrong.
What is a sex linked dominant inheritance pattern?
Only in life with the XX XY sex determination system.A change in the X chromosome of a cell. Females have two copies of the X chromosome, so they can replace it, however, the Y chromosome in males does not contain as much material, so it cannot be replaced.
Is Edwards syndrome autosomal or sex-linked?
Down Syndrome is a trisomy of the 21st chromosome as opposed to an allelic inheritance through the X chromosome. Trisomy is a somatic disorder caused by improper division during gametogenesis (usually of the ovum) that results in 3 copies of the 21st chromosome in the egg once it is fertilized.
A pattern of inheritance in which certain characteristics carried on the X chromosome inherited from the mother are transmitted differently to her male and female offspring is called inheritance?

The x chromosome is obtained from both father and mother.
What are four traits that are transmitted on the x chromosome?
The X chromosome carries traits that determine characteristics and conditions that may be passed down to the offspring. Some conditions carried on the X chromosome are hemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, fragile-x syndrome and red-green color blindness.
Is huntington's disease a chromosome disorder?
Yes- it is transmitted from parent to child by a chromasome.
