Which sex chromosome does a father pass on to a son?
A father passes on his Y chromosome to his son. In humans, males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). Therefore, the son inherits the Y chromosome from his father and an X chromosome from his mother, resulting in a male (XY) offspring.
What genetic material do you get from your mother?
If you are female, you receive half of your father's genetic material. If you are male, you receive almost half; the Y chromosome is missing some genes, so it is the mother's X chromosome and the genes on the top of it that solely determine certain characteristics in the son. These are called sex-linked characteristics.
If a trait is always transmitted directly from a father to all his sons and from those sons to all their son what chromosome would the gene for the character be likely on?
The gene for this trait is likely located on the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is passed down from father to son, and since only males have a Y chromosome, the trait will only be passed down through male lineage.
Who does a male child inherit his X chromosome from?
yes, some people have xxy chromosomes, a genetic mutation. Although I'm not sure if the extra chromosome is from the fathers sperm or sex cell. Hope this helps :)
Y linked genes are passed only from who?
Y-linked genes are only passed from father to son because the Y chromosome is inherited exclusively in a paternal manner. Since females inherit an X chromosome from each parent, they do not receive a Y chromosome from their father.

Does chris Perez's son have down syndrome?
Yes Chris Perez's son does have chromosome down syndrome.

The gene for this trait is likely located on the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is passed down from father to son, and since only males have a Y chromosome, the trait will only be passed down through male lineage.
How is super male syndrome passed from parent to offspring?
Super male syndrome, also known as XYY syndrome, occurs when a male has an extra Y chromosome, resulting in a chromosomal pattern of XYY instead of the typical XY. This genetic condition arises during the formation of sperm, where an error in cell division leads to the extra Y chromosome. It can be passed from an affected father to his offspring if he contributes the extra Y chromosome during fertilization, resulting in a son with the XYY genotype. This syndrome is not inherited in a traditional Mendelian manner but rather occurs as a random event during sperm development.
What relation would the son of a half sister be to you?
If your half-sister had a son that would be a half-nephew to you
What conditions can be passed from father to son only?
Genetic conditions carried on the Y chromosome, such as hemophilia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, can only be passed from father to son. This is because the Y chromosome is inherited exclusively from the father.
Which parent regardless of the phenotype is responsible for color blindness in a son?
Color blindness is typically inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. This means that a son inherits his X chromosome from his mother and his Y chromosome from his father. Therefore, regardless of the mother's phenotype, she is the parent responsible for passing on the X chromosome that may carry the gene for color blindness, while the father contributes a Y chromosome. If the mother is a carrier or affected, there is a chance for the son to be color blind.
Why did Hercules have power?
He was the son of Zeus and therefore half-immortal.
What is the condition that is carried on the x chromosome whereby an affected mother passes the condition to all sons?
for son x chromosome comes from mother and y chromosome from father. If the mother had both allele got affected then the transfer of disease is 100 %. If only one allele is affected then 50% possibility of son getting affected
Why can only the female pass hemophilia down to a son?
Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome while females have 2 X chromosomes. Thus wen a son is born, he inherits his father's Y chromosome and one of his mother's X chromosomes. Since the trait for hemophilia is located on the X chromosome, it must either be passed down from the mother or result from a spontaneous mutation.
Who does a male child inherit his X chromosome from?
yes, some people have xxy chromosomes, a genetic mutation. Although I'm not sure if the extra chromosome is from the fathers sperm or sex cell. Hope this helps :)
