Juliet Robles · Answer 1

1. pedigree

2. autosomal dominant

3. sex-linked

4. x chromosome

5. profile of a person's chromosomes. Karyotypes reveal many important characteristics about a person's chromosomes, such as how many chromosomes they have, and the relative size, shape, and appearance of the chromosomes.

6. Females have the sex chromosomes XX, and males have the sex chromosomes XY. Each child obtains one sex chromosome from his or her biological mother and one sex chromosome from his or her biological father. Males receive a Y chromosome from their fathers and an X chromosome from their mothers. X-chromosome linked disorders, then, can be passed on to males from their mothers but never from their fathers.

7. a) autosomal dominant alleles lead the expression in the child. b) autosomal recessive alleles are only expressed if the other allele is homozygous. c) sex-linked dominant and d) sex-linked recessive are not applicable to sex-linkage only due to the fact that females can be hetero or homozygous.
