Y-linked genes are linked to the Y chromosome. They are not as usual as the X-linked genes and can only be expressed by men or males. Sons' phenotype: 100% hairy ears. Daughters' phenotype: 100% not hairy ears.
<h3>
What are sex-liked genes?</h3>
When talking about sex-linked genes, we refer to genes located in one of the sex chromosomes.
Being linked to one of the sex chromosomes means that these genes, and their corresponding alleles, will only be inherited together with the chromosome.
In general, genes are linked to the X chromosome. These are X-linked genes. In these cases, a male that inherits the X chromosome from a heterozygous female can express either the dominant or the recessive trait, depending on which allele it got from the mother.
However, some genes are linked to the Y chromosome and hence, inherited only by males or men. Traits coded by Y-linked genes will only be inherited by males.
In the exposed example, we are referring to an Y-linked gene, so it will only be inherited by sons and not daughters.
- Expected phenotypes of the man's sons ⇒ 100% haired ears
- Expected phenotypes of the man's daughter ⇒ 100% not haired ears

Light speed, or 300,000 kilometers a second, might seem like a speed
limit, but this is just an example of 3 + 1 thinking – where we still
haven’t got our heads around the concept of four dimensional space-time
and hence we think in terms of space having three dimensions and think
of time as something different.
For example, while it seems to us
that it takes a light beam 4.3 years to go from Earth to the Alpha
Centauri system, if you were to hop on a spacecraft going at 99.999 per
cent of the speed of light you would get there in a matter of days,
hours or even minutes – depending on just how many .99s you add on to
that proportion of light speed.
This is because, as you keep
pumping the accelerator of your imaginary star drive system, time
dilation will become increasingly more pronounced and you will keep
getting to your destination that much quicker. With enough .999s you
could cross the universe within your lifetime – even though someone you
left behind would still only see you moving away at a tiny bit less than
300,000 kilometres a second. So, what might seem like a speed limit at
first glance isn’t really a limit at all.
To try and comprehend
the four dimensional perspective on this, consider that it’s impossible
to move across any distance without also moving through time. For
example, walking a kilometer may be a duration of thirty minutes – but
if you run, it might only take fifteen minutes.
