Only males have the trait, and they inherit the trait from their mothers, who are carriers. The trait is never passed from father to son. (c) If Joe marries a woman who has no family history of c ...

gene duplication in the evolution of sexual dimorphism
... Males and females share most of the same genes, so selection in one sex will typically produce a correlated response in the other sex. Yet, the sexes have evolved to differ in a multitude of behavioral, morphological, and physiological traits. How did this sexual dimorphism evolve despite the presen ...
