Genes are passed down, or inherited, from a person’s parents.

A component called a chromosome contains each gene’s instructions.

Any one of the 22 chromosomes that are not found on the X or Y chromosomes are called sex chromosomes

The word inherited doesn't really have any synonyms in the same tense, and when you look it up (and cross-reference it with three different sources) that is the most "right-sounding" one out of them all, and comes quite easily.

A chromosome is the only way to explain the component without using too many words.

A X-linked gene is one that doesnt appear on the Y, but does appear on the X. There are 23 chromosomes, anyhow.

if you think your dog may have been exposed to a toxin, the best thing to do is to check the label of the item you think your pet ingested. read the information about toxicity. often, but not always, the information on packaging regarding children is relevant to dogs and some manufacturers even discuss dog toxicity. if there is an 800 number on the package – call them! it’s also recommended that you call your veterinarian to confirm the recommendations. if you go to your veterinarian, take all packaging and any information you have on the product.
