Why are males more often affected by sex-linked traits than females?

Biology
1 answer:
Andre45 [30]2 years ago
6 0

In homo sapiens(humans), males are the heterogametic sex meaning their sex chromosomes are not the same(=XY) while females are homogametic(=XX).

Sex linked traits or x linked traits are traits whose genes are present on the X chromosome. So if there is a recessive mutation in those genes, males will express that recessive trait. Basically males express everything that’s on their X chromosome because they only have 1, but females have 2 which helps “hide” the mutation and to not express the particular recessive trait.

That is why sex linked traits are more evident in males in the population and an example of that would be colorblindness.

Hope this helps:)

What is the key adaption of angiosperms that allowed these plants to dominate the landscape?
maria [59]

The  key adaption of angiosperms that allowed these plants to dominate the landscaper is flowers

<h3>What is the most important adaptation of angiosperms?</h3>

Angiosperms initially appeared in the late Cretaceous Period, between 125 and 100 million years ago.

Flowers and fruit were developed by angiosperms to draw pollinators and protect their seeds, respectively.

Flowers come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and scents that are all designed to entice pollinators.

An egg that has been fertilised grows into a seed that is protected by a fleshy fruit.

Throughout the Mesozoic period, numerous contemporary insect groups developed alongside angiosperms, including insect pollinators that supported angiosperm growth; in many cases, flowers and their pollinators coevolved.
