Sex-Linked Traits and Autosomal Genes

[Coney89]

Hi everyone,

i am taking a biology class in college and i don't know the answer to a question and i was hoping maybe someone did know. here it is: "Explain how the transmission of sex-linked traits differs from patterns seen in autosomal genes."

thank you for your replys

Look at the meiosis and think of what is the difference between X/Y pair and the other chromosomes.

yeah i have done that but i still dont know and cant find the answer in my book...anyone else have an answer?

For each autosome you have two copies(homologs), but is that always the case for sex chromosomes?
What happens to a hemizygous individual?

i dont know thats what i also need to know

Well if I(male) get the X chromosome with daltonism(recessive) then why is that different than if my sister gets it and another X that doesnt have the mutation?
