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.


A woman is a carrier for hemophilia what is the chances for sons with hemophilia if the father does not have hemophilia?

If the mother is a carrier for hemophilia, there is a 50% chance that her sons will inherit the hemophilia gene, but only if the father does not have hemophilia. This is because sons inherit the X chromosome that carries the hemophilia gene from their mother. If the father does not have hemophilia, the son will not inherit a healthy X chromosome from him to compensate for the defective X chromosome from the mother.

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.


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.
