How do you know if disorder is autosomal or sex linked?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The autosomal inheritance is a pattern that involves the transmission of traits produced by the gene present on an autosome. The X-linked inheritance involves genes present on the sex chromosome and transfers traits produced by these genes. The autosomal inheritance can be autosomal recessive and autosomal dominant. The sex-linked inheritance can be sex-linked dominant or recessive.
