Snail13579 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) I keep getting these mixed up... Multiple Sex-linked any way to help separate them? give characteristics would be most helpful. Edited June 3, 2008 by Snail13579 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedGen Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I'm not sure what you mean by multiple inheritance here. Are you referring to autosomal linked heritability perchance? Where by genes are inherited in tandem beacuse of their physical location on the chromosome? As for sex-linked, this refers to genotypes or phenotypes that occur in specific patterns beacuse they are located on the sex chromosomes. IIRC thorax colour in Drosophila melanogaster is an example of a sex-linked phenotype, as is haemophilia in humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
