Document Summary

Please match the following concepts and key terms with the appropriate description. W- x-linked inheritance: __h___ development resulting from ongoing, bidirectional exchanges between heredity and all levels of the environment. Example: when the deletion involves the paternal chromosome 15, the child has prader-willi syndrome, but when the deletion involves the chromosome 15 that came from the mother, the child has angelman syndrome. Part 2: matching newborn reflexes with their function. Directions: match each newborn reflex with its function. Directions: answer all the following questions: using your knowledge of x-linked inheritance, explain why males are more vulnerable than females to miscarriage, infant death, genetic disorders, and other problems. When a harmful allele is carried on the x chromosome, x-linked inheritance applies. Males are more likely to be affected because their sex chromosomes do not match. In females, any recessive allele on one x chromosome has a good chance of being suppressed by a dominant allele on the other x.
