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.
