Question

In sex-linked traits, sons get their traits from the female. True False

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A sex-linked is any phenotypic trait associated with one or more genes located on sex chromosomes, i.e., on the X chromosome and/or the Y chromosome.  In humans, females have two X chromosomes, whereas males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. In humans, sex-linked traits are often associated with recessive diseases caused by mutations on the X chromosome, although there are exceptions to this rule. In consequence, if a disease is associated with a mutation in the X chromosome, males will have more chances to be affected because males have a single copy of the X chromosome.
