Transcript
Sex-Linked Traits
Use Pgs. 200-214
NAME: _____________________________________
1.) What are sex-linked genes? What are the X chromosome genes responsible
for? What are the Y chromosomes genes responsible for? EXPLAIN
2.) What does it mean if a person is a “carrier” of a disease? EXPLAIN
3.) Sex-linked traits (etc. colorblindness, male baldness, etc.) are inherited on
what sex chromosome? EXPLAIN how this works.
4.) How would a male inherit the gene for colorblindness? EXPLAIN
5.) How could a female be colorblind? EXPLAIN
6.) Who is more likely to display a colorblind trait, a male or a female? Why?
7.) What is a pedigree chart used for? EXPLAIN.
8.) What differences do you notice on a pedigree chart when you are tracing
autosomal genes compared to when you are tracing sex-linked genes?
EXPLAIN
