Question 36

Question
Why are Sex-linked chromosomes located on the X chromosomes? Because...
Answer
  • X Chromosomes consists of special genetical make-up

Question
Real-application: X-linked gene is recessive for _______ colour vision deficiency.
Answer
  • blue-green
  • red-green
  • red-yellow
  • yellow-green

Question 38

Question
Issue with X-linked gene producing red-green colour vision deficiency affects more men than women. Why?
Answer
  • Because women's genes are able to compensate for the deficiency
  • Because men are not able to compensate for the deficiency, due to a lack of X chromosome
  • Because men are highly affected by it due to their increased chances of inheriting recessive genes
  • Women do experience this too, although are too scared to report it
