Ans.

Sex-linked genes are those genes that found on sex-chromosomes (X and Y chromosomes) and their phenotypic expression for a trait depends on the gender of the  offspring.

Most of the sex-linked genes are present on X chromosomes as X chromosomes have more number of genes as they are made up of more DNA as compared to Y chromosome.

However, male individuals are more likely to exhibit the sex-linked traits. It is because most of the sex-linked traits are recessive and males have only one copy of X chromosome, while females have two copies of X chromosome. One mutated copy in male can exhibit the trait, while in females, both of the mutated copies are required to exhibit that trait.

Compared to atoms of the same element, isotopes have different
Svetradugi [14.3K]
<span>c. numbers of neutrons.</span><span>

Isotopes are atoms of the same element with the same number of protons and same number of electrons but with <span>different number of neutrons. They differ in the number of neutrons that is why they also differ in mass numbers. Since they have the same number of protons, they have the same atomic number. 
For instance, when the nucleus of the isotope with a 68.926 amu, there are 30 protons and 39 neutrons in the nucleus. The best example for this is Zn (zinc-69 isotope) and Ga (gallium-69 isotope) which has 68.926 amu and 68.925 amu respectively. </span></span>
