What is the pattern of inheritance for a sex-linked recessive trait in a pedigree?
In a pedigree, a sex-linked recessive trait is passed down from carrier mothers to affected sons. Daughters of carrier mothers have a 50 chance of being carriers themselves. Sons of affected fathers do not inherit the trait.
How do you know if a trait is sex linked dominant or sex linked recessive?
A trait is sex-linked dominant if it appears in every generation and affects both males and females. It is sex-linked recessive if it skips generations, more common in males, and passed from carrier females to affected males. Mendelian inheritance patterns can help determine if a trait is sex-linked dominant or sex-linked recessive.
Is Colourblindness in males is an example of incomplete dominance?
No, it is an example of sex-linked recessive inheritance.
Is pku sex linked recessive or sex dominant?
I think I read somewhere that there are some variants of it that are recessive and others that are dominant.
What are the three kinds of sex related inheritance?
The three kinds of sex-related inheritance are: Sex-linked inheritance: Traits are associated with genes located on sex chromosomes, such as X-linked or Y-linked traits, often affecting males and females differently. Sex-limited inheritance: Traits that are expressed only in one sex, despite being present in both, often influenced by hormonal differences. Sex-influenced inheritance: Traits that can be expressed in both sexes but have different expression patterns; for example, a trait may be dominant in one sex and recessive in the other.
What are the names of some genetic inheritance patterns?
Some common genetic inheritance patterns include autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, and X-linked recessive. These patterns describe how traits are passed down from parents to offspring.
Why are heterozygous individuals called carriers for non-sex-linked and X-linked recessive patterns of inheritance?
I don't know and don't care

Is one gender affected more in an autosomal recessive cross?
In an autosomal recessive cross, both genders are equally affected because the genes involved are located on autosomes, which are not sex chromosomes. Therefore, both males and females have an equal chance of inheriting the recessive alleles from their parents. The expression of the trait depends solely on the genotype rather than the sex of the individual.
How might a scientist determine whether a trait is sex linked by observing the offspring of several genetic crosses?
By observing the proportion of affected offspring and whether males or females are more affected.
A genetic pedigree showing that only males are affected by a certain disorder is evidence of what type of inheritance?
Sex-linked.
