Which trait will a male exhibit if he carries a recessive allele on the X chromosome?
A male carrying a recessive allele on the X chromosome will exhibit the recessive trait. This is because the Y chromosome generally does not have matching genes for the X chromosome, unlike the other 22 pairs if chromosomes in the nucleus.
What is a segment of a DNA molecule that carries the instructions for producing a specific trait?
A gene is a segment of a DNA molecule that carries the instructions for producing a specific trait. It provides the information needed for the synthesis of proteins or functional RNA molecules that contribute to the expression of that trait.
A color blind son inherited this trait from?
his mother because color blindness is a sex-linked trait that is found on the X chromosome, which is inherited from the mother, as opposed to the Y chromosome, which is inherited from the father. So a male can only inherit the gene for color blindness from his mom.
In what chromosome is the ear lobe trait located?
The ear lobe trait is not located on a specific chromosome, as it is a common genetic trait that is not influenced by a single gene or located on a specific chromosome. The presence or absence of ear lobes is determined by multiple genetic factors.
A trait controlled by a gene on the sex chromosome is know as a?
A trait controlled by a gene on the sex chromosome is known as a sex-linked trait. These traits are often inherited in a sex-specific manner, with different patterns of inheritance depending on whether the gene is located on the X or Y chromosome.
True or False A mutation is the part of a chromosome that carries information about a trait?
False. A mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence of a gene or chromosome, not the specific part of a chromosome that carries information about a trait.
Is a mutation part of a chromosome that carries information about a trait?
no. what you described is a gene. a mutation is a change in the DNA which can sometimes change a gene
Which trait will a male exhibit if he carries a recessive allele on the X chromosome?
A male carrying a recessive allele on the X chromosome will exhibit the recessive trait. This is because the Y chromosome generally does not have matching genes for the X chromosome, unlike the other 22 pairs if chromosomes in the nucleus.
What is x linked trait?
Normally sex-linked traits are carried only on the X chromosome, meaning a sex-linked gene can only be inherited from the father's X or the two mother's X's. However, there are occasions where the trait is carried down by the Y chromosome, meaning only the males would inherit it, and it would be expressed. This is very uncommon because the Y chromosome carries very little genetic material/information in comparison to the Y chromosome.
More than one pair of alleles controls a trait?
It isn't genome the definition of genome is a map of the location of individual genes on every chromosome of an individual. It's multiple alleles- having more than two alleles that control a trait. PS- I got this information from my text book:)
What is a sex linked trait or disorder?
Simply a trait or disorder that resides on one of the sex chromosomes. XX for female and XY for male. Since the X chromosome carries significantly more genes than the Y we see more traits and disorders appearing on this chromosome and also it is statistically more likely for males to express disorders on this chromosome, especially recessive, as they have only one X chromosome.
What are linked traits?
Normally sex-linked traits are carried only on the X chromosome, meaning a sex-linked gene can only be inherited from the father's X or the two mother's X's. However, there are occasions where the trait is carried down by the Y chromosome, meaning only the males would inherit it, and it would be expressed. This is very uncommon because the Y chromosome carries very little genetic material/information in comparison to the Y chromosome.
What are sections of a chromosome that are code for trait?
A section of chromosomes that codes for a trait can be called

A gene is a segment of a DNA molecule that carries the instructions for producing a specific trait. It provides the information needed for the synthesis of proteins or functional RNA molecules that contribute to the expression of that trait.

his mother because color blindness is a sex-linked trait that is found on the X chromosome, which is inherited from the mother, as opposed to the Y chromosome, which is inherited from the father. So a male can only inherit the gene for color blindness from his mom.
If a trait is always transmitted directly from a father to all his sons and from those sons to all their son what chromosome would the gene for the character be likely on?
The gene for this trait is likely located on the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is passed down from father to son, and since only males have a Y chromosome, the trait will only be passed down through male lineage.
Section of a chromosome that determines a single trait?
CODON
