Differentiate between Y-linked inheritance and X-linked inheritance. |
|
Answer» Y-linked inheritance: There are certain traits like baldness or hyperstrichory that occur in male but not in female because the dominant genes controlling these traits are found on the Y chromosome, which is present only in males. X-linked inheritance: Certain inherited defects such as colour blindness and haemophilia are far more common in males than in females because these defects are due to recessive genes and both genes occur on the X-chromosome. |
