Y chromosome
Y i think
When a person is born they get one chromosome from the mom and one from the dad. A female has XX chromosomes a male has XY Cromosomes. So a male would get the Y from the dad and the X from the mom.
The gene for this trait is likely located on the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is passed down from father to son, and since only males have a Y chromosome, the trait will only be passed down through male lineage.

Y chromosome
Y i think
The y-chromosome is only present in males. Men will a y-chromosome identical to that of their father, and his father, and his father, etc.
Males have both X & Y chromosomes
When a person is born they get one chromosome from the mom and one from the dad. A female has XX chromosomes a male has XY Cromosomes. So a male would get the Y from the dad and the X from the mom.
Males typically have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. This combination of sex chromosomes determines male sex characteristics.
The X chromosome is affected, because there are 2 of them (and a Y chromosome).
y chromosome is the chromosome that makes males, alcoholism has nothing to do with it unless you make the choice to drink
The gene for this trait is likely located on the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is passed down from father to son, and since only males have a Y chromosome, the trait will only be passed down through male lineage.
sex-linked disorders
Sex-link genes are genes that are located on a sex chromosome, typically the X or Y chromosome. These genes can have unique inheritance patterns and effects on traits based on an individual's sex. For example, genes located on the X chromosome can display different phenotypes in males and females due to X inactivation in females. In contrast, Y-linked genes are only present in males and can influence male-specific traits or functions.
No, Fragile X is on the X chromosome. Females have 2 X chromosomes and Males have an X and a Y Chromosome. Therefore, both males and females can have Fragile X (they can have the full mutation or be carriers). Males are usually more severly affected because they have only one X Chromosome.
