What are the sex linked traits?

Answer 1

In humans, red-green colorblindness is a recessive sex-linked trait. It is found on the X chromosome, not the Y. Because, males only have one X chromosome, they have a much greater chance of having red-green colorblindness. Females would have to be homozygous recessive in order to have red-green colorblindness.

Answer 2

Sex linked-traits refer to any gene which appears on the X or Y chromosome, so they can be specifically tracked through generations along with the specific X or Y. A great example of this is baldness, which occurs on the X chromosome. Oddly enough this is the female chromosome, but as females get two, the chances of two baldness genes is very low. In any case it generally only shows up as a thining of hair late in life. However, in a male the gene is alone and has a major effect (complete or partial baldness). Because a man must give his Y to his sons, a bald father does not make a bald son. However a bald maternal grandfather can make a bald son (the gene came from grandpa, through mom to son with a 50/50 chance).

There are several other sex-linked traits, but they all follow this pattern. They include things like hemophelia and colorblindness.

Answer 3

there traits that are carried by the choromosomes which determine sex or genosomes.
