### Genetic Phenotype in Humans: Brown and Blond Body HairA made-up genetic phenotype in humans results in some people having both brown and blond body hair. This phenotype is noticeable only if you look closely at these individuals, who exhibit small, medium, and large patches of brown hair along with small, medium, and large patches of blond body hair spread throughout their bodies.#### Question for Analysis:a.) If this phenotype is only seen in females, while males have completely blond or brown body hair, how would you describe the genetic nature of this phenotype?**Detailed Explanation of the Genetic Phenotype:**This particular genetic pattern suggests that the presence of both brown and blond body hair, in patches of varying sizes, is a female-specific trait. This could indicate a sex-linked genetic factor, often found on the X chromosome, where males (having only one X chromosome paired with one Y chromosome) do not exhibit the same patchy hair coloration because they lack the necessary genetic combination. The observation of this phenotype only in females implies that it is potentially a recessive trait carried on the X chromosome that manifests when two X chromosomes (one from each parent) carry the necessary alleles, resulting in females exhibiting the phenotype and males expressing a different, non-patchy hair color due to the dominant nature of their single X-linked allele.
