Are II-1 and II-2 carriers of the trait?
Without specific information on the trait in question or the family pedigree, it is impossible to determine if II-1 and II-2 are carriers. A carrier typically refers to an individual who has a recessive allele for a genetic trait but does not express the trait themselves. Genetic testing and analysis of multiple family members would be needed to confirm carrier status.
A characteristic controlled by one or more genes is called a?
trait
If a characteristic is sex-linked, how does it affect the inheritance pattern of that trait?
When a characteristic is sex-linked, it is located on a sex chromosome (usually the X chromosome). This affects the inheritance pattern because males have only one X chromosome, so they will express any sex-linked trait on that chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, so they may be carriers of the trait without expressing it. This can result in different inheritance patterns for males and females.
What are the difference between a trait and a characteristic give one example of each?
A trait is a distinguishing quality or characteristic that is passed down genetically, while a characteristic is an observable feature of an organism. For example, eye color is a trait that can be inherited, while having freckles is a characteristic that can vary among individuals.
What is the pattern of sex linked inheritance?
In humans sex linked traits are passed on the X chromosome. (For the purpose of this discussion the trait being passed is recessive.) This means that a male parent cannot pass the characteristic on to his male offspring, but he can pass the trait on to his female offspring. The female parent can pass the trait on to any of her offspring. Both parents must carry the allele for the sex-linked trait (and pass it on) in order for a female child to have the characteristic. Male children that get the trait from their mother will have the trait no matter what the genetics of the father. If the female parent is heterozygous for the trait 50% of her male children will have the characteristic no matter the father's genetics for that trait. Assuming that the characteristic is not lethal and both parents are "carriers" (keep in mind that the father displays the trait and a heterozygous mother will not)... 50% of the sons will have the trait, 50% of the sons will not have the trait, 50% of the daughters will be homozygous for the trait and 50% will by heterozygous "carriers".

What are maintained in the population by carriers of the trait?
Carriers of a trait maintain the genetic variation within a population by passing on the gene to their offspring but not necessarily expressing the trait themselves. This helps ensure the survival of the gene pool and provides adaptability to changing environmental conditions. Carriers may also pass on the trait to future generations who may express it under different circumstances.
What is the name for a characteristic such as an eye color of an organism?
This could be called a trait (inheritance).
