Understanding Sex-Linked Genetic Traits: A Guide for High School Biology Students
Sex-linked genetic traits influence how certain conditions, like color blindness and hemophilia, are inherited differently in males and females. This guide explores the science behind X-linked and Y-linked traits, the impact of inheriting extra sex chromosomes (like Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome), and how these genetic patterns affect not only humans but also animals and plants. Learn about real-world applications in medicine, agriculture, and genetic engineering, and discover how these traits shape biological diversity.
