In what ratio does a child inherit their father's and mother's genetic traits?
Do certain genetic traits come from only the mother or father?
Yes, some genetic traits are sex-linked and are determined by genes on the X or Y chromosome. For example, color blindness is a trait that is carried on the X chromosome and so is more commonly passed down from the mother. On the other hand, male pattern baldness is a trait that is carried on the Y chromosome and is more commonly passed down from the father.
