Chapter 11, Problem 4RQ
Summary Introduction
To define:
The term sex linkage and to determine the sex that will most likely to show recessive sex-linked traits in mammals.
Introduction:
The inheritance of traits shows patterns used for the prediction of the reappearance of the traits in the offspring. The patterns of inheritance classified based on their relation to the autosomes or sex chromosomes and with dominant and recessive inheritance patterns.

what is Sex-Linked and Sexually Dimorphic Traitsin Humans?
What is an example of a sex-linked trait in humans?
Sex determination is different in birds and mammals. Describe how this difference in sex determination leads to a different probability of inheriting a sex-linked trait in male and female mammals versus birds.
