In humans, usually the X chromosome, because it is much larger. Very rarely does the Y chromosome carry them.

if you're asking about other animals, i have no idea. I do know that in chickens, Y is the female chromosome, and X is male, but i don't know if it changes the sex-linked trait situation

What kind of non Mendelian trait is color blindness?

Color blindness is an example of an X-linked recessive trait, which is a type of non-Mendelian inheritance. This means that the gene responsible for color blindness is located on the X chromosome, and the trait is more commonly expressed in males than females.

How can you explain the inheritance of sex-linked traits?

Sex- linked traits are those where the genes are found on the X and Y chromosomes. Colorblindness and male pattern baldness are the most well-known sex-link traits. Women have two X chromosomes. Men have one X and one Y, but the Y chromosome has fewer genes than the X. These differences help account for different patterns of inheritance than non-sex-linked traits.


What type of trait is hemophilia?

How did Morgan determine that red-eye color is Drosophila is an X-linked trait?

Morgan determined that red-eye color in Drosophila is an X-linked trait by conducting a series of genetic crosses. He observed that when he crossed white-eyed males (mutants) with red-eyed females (wild type), all the F1 offspring had red eyes. When he then crossed F1 males with F1 females, he found a 3:1 ratio of red-eyed to white-eyed flies among the males, indicating that the trait was linked to the X chromosome. This inheritance pattern suggested that the white-eye mutation was recessive and located on the X chromosome, confirming its X-linked nature.
