Expert Solution

Step 1
Baldness is not caused by sex-related genes. However, it is an example of sex-related genes. It may occur in rare cases as a result of sickness or other environmental causes, but it is primarily an inherited condition that affects men more than women. Baldness is not inherited in the same way as recessive sex-linked genes, according to research.
