What is one difference between tracing the inheritance of autosomal traits and tracing the inheritance of sex-linked traits?

:  <span><span> Sex linkage is the phenotypic expression of an allele that is related to the chromosomal sex of the individual. This mode of inheritance is in contrast to the inheritance of traits on autosomal chromosomes, where both sexes have the same probability of expressing the trait. Since, in humans, there are many more genes on the X than there are on the Y, there are many more X-linked traits than there are Y-linked traits.

</span><span> In mammals, the female is the homogametic sex, having two X chromosomes (XX), while the male is heterogametic, having one X and one Y chromosome (XY). Genes that are present on the X or Y chromosome are called sex linked genes.


Autosomal: Pertaining to a chromosome that is not a sex chromosome; relating to any one of the chromosomes save the sex chromosomes.

People normally have 22 pairs of autosomes (44 autosomes) in each cell together with two sex chromosomes (X and Y in the male and XX in the female). </span></span>

According to the theory of endosymbiosis,early eukaryotes evolved by symbiotic association of prokaryotes. Witch two protists ev
Aneli [31]
Examples of protists that possibly evolving form endosymbiosis are Paramecium and amoeba. 

As per the theory of endosymbiosis, it is likely that some non-photosynthetic organisms formed a symbiotic relationship with organisms that had the ability to photosynthesize using chloroplasts. These organisms then got the ability to photosynthesize due to the addition of chloroplasts into their cells, and this resulted in eukaryotic organisms with chloroplasts.

Karen's blood type is b+. Jeremy's blood type is a+. Karen and jeremy have a child together, tommy. Tommy's blood type is o
Sophie [7]

It is possible for a child to have the blood type O if the parents have A+ and B+. However, this blood type has the lowest probability of occuring (6.25%),

The highest probability for an offspring with parents like Karent and Jeremy is AB with a chance of 56.25%. Next are A and B each with a chance of 18.75%.

However, if one of the parents is AB, then the chances for an offspring with O blood type is zero.
