In humans, as well as in many other animals and some plants, the sex of the individual is determined by sex chromosomes.
The sex chromosomes are one pair of non-homologous chromosomes. XX represents a female, while XY represents a male
When a gene for a specific trait is attached to the X or Y chromosome, we say it is sex-Linked, and when it is attached to the X
chromosome, we say it is X-linked. Alleles for these linked traits, such as hemophilia on color blindness, crosses, may be
recessive or dominant
This is one possible cross (above) for the X-linked condition known as hemophilia. Which pair of parents is most likely to have a
hemophiliac daughter?
