Question

X-Linked traits are on the X-Chromosome. How many copies will biological males have?

How many will biological females have?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Females have two X chromosomes. Males have one X chromosome.

Females have two copies of each X-linked gene. Males have one copy of an X-linked gene.

Mutations on an X chromosome can be either dominant or recessive. Since males have only one X chromosome, and if there is a mutation on a certain gene on the X chromosome, then males have the disease or condition.
