How Can Sex-Linked Traits Be Identified

Biology
1 answer:
kkurt [141]3 years ago
5 0

If a gene is found only on the X chromosome and not the Y chromosome, it is said to be a sex-linked trait. Because the gene controlling the trait is located on the sex chromosome, sex linkage is linked to the gender of the individual. Usually such genes are found on the X chromosome. The Y chromosome is thus missing such genes (See Diagram above.). The result is that females will have two copies of the sex-linked gene while males will only have one copy of this gene. If the gene is recessive, then males only need one such recessive gene to have a sex-linked trait rather than the customary two recessive genes for traits that are not sex-linked. This is why males exhibit some traits more frequently than females.

Answer:

The vision remains unaffected.

Explanation:

Rods and cones are two types of photo receptor cells present in the organism. Cone cell helps in the visualization of color whereas rod cells are involved in the light intensity.

The cat was stuck in the neighbor's cellar with enough food and water. The cat was stuck in the basement with pitch-black but this does not affect the vision of cat. Cats are nocturnal animals and has large amount of rod cells that enable them to see at night. Thus, her vision remains unaffected.
