Part 4: sex-linked inheritance—predicting color blindness in offspring
recall that females have two x chromosomes: one from the mother and one from the father. males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome; the x chromosome comes from the mother, and the y chromosome comes from the father. traits associated with genes located on the sex chromosomes are called sex-linked traits.
individuals with the sex-linked condition called red-green color blindness do not perceive the colors red and green. red-green color blindness is caused by the recessive allele c and is carried on the x chromosome. the dominant allele for normal color vision is c. when an x chromosome contains the dominant allele, the allele is written as xc. when an x chromosome contains the recessive allele, the allele is written as xc.
