Sex-linked Inheritance

Question 3 • FL-2000310-Biology 1 Sem 1 - Flex

Which statement about sex-linked traits is true?

Answer
A
Sex-linked traits are always dominant.
B
Sex-linked traits only occur in heterozygous allele pairs.
C
Sex-linked traits may be passed from parent to offspring on either the X chromosome or the Y chromosome.

Explanation

Sex-linked traits are associated with genes located on the sex chromosomes. Genes on either the X chromosome or the Y chromosome can be inherited from a parent and passed to offspring, so the statement that sex-linked traits may be passed on either chromosome is true. They are not always dominant, and they do not occur only in heterozygous pairs.
