Document Summary

Fertilization restores 2n condition for chromosomes and genes. Chromosome theory of inheritance: mendelian genes have specific loci (positions) along chromosomes and it is the chromosomes that undergo segregation and independent assortment. A trait determined by genes on the sex chromosomes is said to be sex-linked. X-linked inheritance: a gene resides on the x chromosome. Y-linked inheritance: a gene resides on the y chromosome. Sex-linked inheritance: a gene is on either sex chromosome. Autosomal inheritance: shown by genes on non-sex chromosomes. The x and y chromosomes are sex chromosomes they determine the sex of offspring. Half the sperm contain an x chromosome and half contain the y chromosome. X and y chromosomes are different in size and shape, but act like ________ during meiosis. Inheritance of x-linked genes (color-blindness): transmission: a colour blind father will transmit the mutant allele to all daughters but no to sons.
