When genes are linked, they are very likely to be inherited together - meaning that once one gene has been inherited, the chance that the other will be is not 50% (meaning it is not random like other genes).

Because linked gene are not affected by crossing over. Thus these are not segregated according to the Mendel's principal of segregation.

What are linked genes and why don't the follow mendelian rules of inheritance?

Linked genes are genes that are located on the same chromosome and tend to be inherited together. They do not follow Mendelian rules of inheritance because they are not independently assorted during meiosis. Instead, they are often inherited as a group due to their physical proximity on the same chromosome.


What is the pattern of heredity shown in the transparency?

The pattern of heredity shown in the transparency is most likely a familial inheritance pattern, where certain traits or genetic conditions are passed down through generations within a family. Examples of familial inheritance patterns include autosomal dominant or recessive inheritance, X-linked inheritance, or mitochondrial inheritance. These patterns help geneticists and researchers understand how genetic traits are transmitted from parents to offspring.


What can be determined from looking at a pedigree?

patterns of familial inheritance. patterns of sex-linked inheritance.


Which type of inheritance involves traits linked to a sex chromosome?

Sex-linked inheritance involves traits that are linked to genes on the sex chromosomes (X and Y). Traits carried on the X chromosome are typically expressed differently in males and females due to differences in the number of X chromosomes they inherit. Examples include color blindness and hemophilia.


Is hemophilia a pattern inheritance?

Yes, hemophilia is typically inherited as an X-linked recessive disorder, meaning it is passed down through a mutation on the X chromosome. This pattern of inheritance results in the condition being more commonly seen in males, while females are often carriers of the gene.

Why do sex-linked trait follow different pattern of inheritance than other traits?

males and females have different sex chromosomes


If a characteristic is X-linked it?

If a characteristic is X-linked, it is located on the X chromosome. This means that the inheritance pattern of the characteristic will follow X-linked inheritance, and it can affect males more commonly than females because males only have one X chromosome.


What type of inheritance pattern are these rabbits likely displaying?

Types of dominance, multiple alleles, sex linked inheritance, polygenic inheritance and maternal inheritance.


What is the a pattern of inheritance in which certain characteristics carried on the X chromosome inherited from the mother are transmitted differently to her male and female offspring called?

This pattern of inheritance is called X-linked inheritance. It involves genes located on the X chromosome, leading to different inheritance patterns in males (who have one X chromosome) and females (who have two X chromosomes).

How x linked traits affect the inheritance of sex linked traits?

Females have 2 X chromosomes so the X-linked genes follow the same rules of dominance & recessivity as the genes on the autosomes.


A pattern of inheritance in which certain characteristics carried on the X chromosome inherited from the mother are transmitted differently to her male and female offspring is called inheritance?

Sex linked.


Why do X linked genes have a different inheritance pattern than autosomal disorders?

Because ur stupid


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 is the impact of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium on the inheritance patterns of X-linked recessive traits?

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium does not directly impact the inheritance patterns of X-linked recessive traits. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle that describes the genetic makeup of a population when certain conditions are met, while X-linked recessive traits follow specific inheritance patterns based on the X chromosome.


What are the inheritance patterns of sex-linked traits in humans?

Sex-linked traits in humans follow specific inheritance patterns based on the genes located on the sex chromosomes. In males, who have one X and one Y chromosome, sex-linked traits are typically passed down from the mother on the X chromosome. In females, who have two X chromosomes, the trait can be passed down from either parent. This results in different patterns of inheritance for males and females when it comes to sex-linked traits.
