An allele on either X or Y could be dominant over the allele on the other chromosome, but it is more common for the allele on the X to be dominant, because the Y chromosome is much smaller than the X and contains fewer genes. In many cases, there is no allele for a particular gene on the Y chromosome; so whatever allele is on the Y will be dominant.

Why are x linked alleles expressed in males even if they are recessive?

X-linked are not recessive nor dominant. X-linked just do not show. On the sex-linked chromosomes the Y chromosome of the X-Y pair dominates the trait whether its recessive or dominant!Actually, all x-linked alleles are expressed because males only have one x-chromosome, so whatever is there, dominant or recessive, is expressed.

Why do x linked conditions appear more frequently in males than females?

Because males have an X and Y chromosome. If the trait is X-linked (recessive), there is nothing to mask the expression. On the other hand if a woman has an x-linked recessive allele and a dominant one, the dominant trait is the one that will be expressed.

Is marfan syndrome carried on the x or y chromosome or both?

Marfan syndrome is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that a mutation in a single copy of the gene is enough to cause the disorder. It is not specifically located on the X or Y chromosome.


Is it true that you will definitely inherit a genetic disease if both your parents show any sign of the disease?

IT depends if both parents have it on their genes (X and Y) as Dominant or Recessive, If one of them is dominant, you better expect to get it unless the other parent has a DOminant Counter-Gene

What is the implicit differentiation of y equals sin x plus y?
