- Which of the following statements about X-linked recessive inheritance is true? X-linked recessive traits appear more frequently in females than males. X-linked traits are only found in humans. Females who are carriers of an X-linked recessive trait may not exhibit any phenotypic effects. Males have two allele copies of X-linked genes.arrow_forwardWith respect to the inheritance of X-linked recessive traits, which of the following is true? OA mother cannot transmit the recessive allele to her daughter. OA mother cannot transmit the recessive allele to her son. CA father with the trait can pass the trait to his sons. OA father with the recessive allele passes it to all of his daughters. A man with the recessive allele may not express the trait.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about X-linked recessive patterns is true? The X-linked trait appears more often in females than in males. An affected father can never pass an X-linked recessive allele to an XY son. An affected father can never pass an X-linked recessive allele to a daughter. Heterozygous females always express the X-linked recessive trait.arrow_forward
- Why are lethal dominant genes much more rare than lethal recessive genes?arrow_forwardMen are more likely to display an X-linked recessive disorder than are women. Why do you think this is true?arrow_forwardA mother is a carrier of a recessive X-linked disorder. What are the chances of her offspring being afflicted by this disorder assuming a healthy father? 100% chance for male offspring; ~0% chance for female offspring 50% chance for male offspring; ~0% chance for female offspring 0% chance for male offspring; ~0% chance for female offspring 25% chance for male offspring; ~25% chance for female offspring 50% chance for male offspring; ~50% chance for female offspringarrow_forward
- How could you distinguish between an autosomal recessive trait with higher penetrance in males and an X-linked recessive trait?arrow_forwardWhat will be the sex of an individual who is easily affected by an X-linked recessive trait? Why?arrow_forwardDoes X-linked recessive "fit" this pedigree? How about autosomal recessive? What about X-linked dominant? Autosomal dominant? yes This pedigree shows inheritance of a DOMINANT trait: Is it X-linked or autosomal? Why? Fill in everyone's genotype.arrow_forward
