  • Sex-linked Genetic traits

    Males are more likely to exhibit the disease because they only have to inherit one disease allele from their mother to develop the disease (there is no second X chromosome to provide a normal allele as in females).

  • Punnett Squares and Pedigrees

    In this case, only male children have the trait, even though none of the parents has liver disease. This suggests an X-linked recessive trait.

  • Genetic Disorders

    HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE (NO) The solution talks about why teratogens are hard to identify and what the consequences of an X-linked recessive disease like Hemophilia mean for the Royal Family.

  • autoradiograph/paternity results

    First remember that we concluded that the disease is sex-linked; that is, carried on the X chromosome. Next remember that the only children who had the disease were males -- meaning that their X chromosome contained the allele for the disease.

  • Pedigree Inheritance Pattern

    Therefore, this disease is represented by pedigree I, where only men and all the men in that line are affected. c) An X-linked recessive disease means that men will be more susceptible to this disease than women.

  • X-Linked Dominant Allele Disease

    34565 X-linked dominant allele: What would be the phenotype of a woman who is heterozygous for the trait? A disease is produced by an X-linked dominant allele. What would be the phenotype of a woman who is heterozygous for the trait?

  • Why are sex-linked diseases more common in men than in women

    Men have one X and one Y chromosome, so the moment a disease is carried on one of these two chromosomes it will show in men. Women with two XX chromosomes will have a second X chromosome that can make up for a 'defect' on one X chromosome.

  • Genetic Variations

    Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked disease for which prenatal diagnostic testing can be performed. Has prenatal genetic testing increased the detection rate of this disease, compared to prior diagnostic methods? If so, how?

  • Analyzing Genetic Disease Through Several Generations

    The recessive allele a is the rare allele that caused the recessive disease phenotype. It is carried by the X chromosome of one of the parents, and is called the X-linked recessive allele.
