Build: Follow the steps given in the Gizmo to
construct a molecule of DNA. (Note: For simplicity,
this DNA molecule is shown in two dimensions,
without the twist.)
Stop when the hint reads: “The DNA molecule is
complete.” In the spaces at right, list the sequence
of nitrogenous bases on the left-hand side of the
DNA molecule and the right-hand side.
2. Take a picture: Click the camera ( ) to take a
snapshot of your DNA molecule. Right-click the
image and select Copy Image. Paste the image
into a blank document, and label this image
“Original DNA molecule.”

What is the difference between sex-linked traits and autosomal traits in humans? a. sex-linked traits can only be passed from fathers to sons, while autosomal traits can be passed on from both parents to offspring of any sex. b. sex-linked traits are passed on through the x and y chromosomes, while autosomal traits are passed on through the other 22 chromosomes. c. sex-linked traits only affect females, while autosomal traits affect both males and females. d. sex-linked traits refer to genes that are on the x and y chromosomes, while autosomal traits refer to genes on all 23 chromosomes.
