The male gamete determines sex because each male gamete can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome Which of the following is true of an X-linked gene, but not of a Y-linked gene? A) It is only expressed in female offspring. B) The gene is present in both males and females. C) It is expressed in half of the cells of either male or female. D) It does not segregate like other genes. E) Sister chromatids separate during mitosis.
X-linked genes just like autosomal genes have both dominant and recessive types. Recessive X-linked disorders are rarely seen in females and usually only affect males. This is because males inherit their X chromosome and all X-linked genes will be inherited from the maternal side. Fathers only pass on their Y chromosome to their sons, so no X-linked traits will be inherited from father to son.
