... A sex-linked trait is a trait whose allele is found on a sex chromosome. The human X is much bigger and has many more genes than Y. There are many more sex-linked traits on X than Y. Most are recessive, because males only have one X if they inherit the trait then they will express it. These traits a ...

Summary of Mendel’s Principles • 1. traits are determined by genes from parents to offspring. • 2. when present a dominant trait will always show up. 2 recessive traits must exist together for recessive to show up. • 3. each adult has two copies of a gene (one from each parent). These genes segrega ...

Y chromosome



The Y chromosome is one of two sex chromosomes (allosomes) in mammals, including humans, and many other animals. The other is the X chromosome. Y is the sex-determining chromosome in many species, since it is the presence or absence of Y that determines the male or female sex of offspring produced in sexual reproduction. In mammals, the Y chromosome contains the gene SRY, which triggers testis development. The DNA in the human Y chromosome is composed of about 59 million base pairs. The Y chromosome is passed only from father to son. With a 30% difference between humans and chimpanzees, the Y chromosome is one of the fastest evolving parts of the human genome. To date, over 200 Y-linked genes have been identified. All Y-linked genes are expressed and (apart from duplicated genes) hemizygous (present on only one chromosome) except in the cases of aneuploidy such as XYY syndrome or XXYY syndrome. (See Y linkage.)
