sex-linked genes
... The determination of sex is based on the inheritance of a certain combination of chromosomes. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes (23 pairs). Twenty-two of these pairs are known as autosomes. These contain genes for many traits, but are not related to the sex of the individual. The twenty-third pair ...
