Sex-linked Inheritance

Question 9 • FL-2000310-Biology 1 Sem 1 - Flex

How are the alleles for sex-linked traits inherited?

Answer
A
They are passed from the Y chromosome in parents to the X chromosome in offspring.
B
They are passed from the X chromosome in parents to the XY chromosome in offspring.
C
They are passed from parents to offspring on the X and Y chromosomes.
D
They are passed from any chromosome in the parents to the X or Y chromosome in the offspring.

Explanation

Sex-linked traits are controlled by genes located on the sex chromosomes, X or Y. Parents pass their sex chromosomes to their offspring, so alleles for these traits are inherited on the X and/or Y chromosome. Therefore, the correct choice is “They are passed from parents to offspring on the X and Y chromosomes.”
