Card 106 / 112: What is the difference between an autosomal trait and a sex-linked trait?
A)
Autosomal traits are based on genes, and sex-linked traits are based on hormones.
B)
Only males have alleles associated with sex-linked traits, while both males and females have alleles associated with sex-linked traits.
C)
Sex-linked traits are due to genes that occur on the chromosomes that determine sex, while autosomal traits are due to genes that occur on any of the other chromosomes.
D)
Autosomal traits are those that occur when an individual has only one allele, while sex-linked traits usually are due to the interaction of two or more alleles.
Answer:
C) Sex-linked traits are due to genes that occur on the chromosomes that determine sex, while autosomal traits are due to genes that occur on any of the other chromosomes.
