    Definition of Terms
    Sex-linked Trait
    - it is a gene pair located on the sex chromosomes that determines a
    character or trait.
    X-linked Trait
    -it is a sex-linked trait where the gene or allele for a specific trait is
    found in the X chromosome.
    Y-linked Trait
    -it is a sex-linked trait where the gene or allele for a specific trait is
    found in the Y chromosome.

    Definition of Terms
    Color Blindness
    - An X-linked recessive trait where affected individual could not
    distinguish colors (e.g red-green color blindness).
    Xb=with color blindness; X=normal
    Hemophilia
    -An X-linked recessive trait where an affected individual suffers from
    delayed blood clotting during injuries because of the absence of certain
    blood clotting factors.
    Xh= with hemophilia

    Definition of Terms
    Red-green Color Blindness Hemophilia

    Definition of Terms
    Hypertrichosis pinnae auris
    - A Y-linked recessive trait where
    affected males have hair growing from
    external ears.

    Definition of Terms
    Sex-influenced trait
    - Any trait in a diploid organism whose expression is affected by an
    individual’s biological sex; a trait that occurs at a higher frequency in one
    sex over the other due to hormonal and physiological differences.

    Sex-limited trait
    -Any trait in a diploid organism whose expression is limited to just
    one biological sex which is caused by the hormonal and physiological
    differences between sexes.

    Definition of Terms
    Sex-influenced trait
    - Baldness is an example of sex-influenced trait, with B as the
    dominant allele for baldness and b as the recessive normal allele.

    Sex-limited trait
    -An example of this in humans is the ability of females to produce
    milk immediate after giving birth.

    Definition of Terms
    Sex-influenced trait
    - Baldness is an example of sex-influenced trait, with B as the
    dominant allele for baldness and b as the recessive normal allele.
    XXBB= bald in either sex
    XXBb= bald in males only
    XXbb= normal hair in both
    Males=2/3 affected; Females= 1/3 affected
    Sex-limited trait
    -An example of this in humans is the ability of females to produce
    milk immediate after giving birth.

    Group Activity
    Identify the phenotypes of the parents then
    determine the phenotypic and genotypic ratio of X= normal X chromosome
    each cross. Y= normal Y chromosome
    Xc= X chromosome containing a
    1. XXh x XY gene for colorblindness
    2. XcX x XcY Xh= X chromosome containing a
    gene for hemophilia
    3. XXh x XYT YT= Y chromosome containing a
    gene for HPA
    4. XhXc x XcY
    F=with freckles
    5. XhcXBb x XcYTBb f=without freckles
    B= with baldness
    6. What is the probability of a male with HPA to b= not bald
    have child with HPA (for males and females)?

    Seatwork
    Identify the phenotypes of the parents then determine the phenotypic
    and genotypic ratio from each cross.
    1. XXhBb x XhYBb X= normal X chromosome
    Y= normal Y chromosome
    2. XcXcbb x XYBB
    Xc= X chromosome containing a gene for
