How can I explain the genetic basis of a disorder that occurs with equal frequency among chicks and dudes and that doesn't follow basic patterns of Mendel inheritance??????:confused:

An autosomal-linked disorder (if rule out sex chromosome linkage due to 1:1 sex ratio) following non-Mendelian inheritance patterns. Again for more detail what inheritance pattern does this disorder follow?

How about a mitochondrial dissorder. That fits really well. Non mendelian inheritance and equal frequency between the sexes.

I believe trisomy would explain it, but it would be less likely.

 

see trisomy 21, a cause of down's syndrome
