Sex Linked Traits
... Sex Linked Traits • When X and Y chromosomes meet at fertilization, each sex-linked gene on the X chromosome (whether recessive or dominant) becomes expressed in the phenotype. • This is because the Y chromosome does not possess alleles of any of these genes and cannot offer dominance to them. ...

Classification of Genetic disorders:
... In single gene disorders, individuals in regard to the abnormal gene are one of 3 groups: a heterozygote (carrying one mutated and one normal gene and thus affected in AD and not affected in AR disorders), a homozygote for the mutated gene (and thus affected in all cases), or a homozygote normal. Th ...
