A type of baldness is sex –limited such that the allele that causes it is dominant in men and recessive in women.  Thus baldness is much more common in men than women even though the locus is on an autosome.  How is the pattern of inheritance in this example different from X-linked inheritance of a recessive allele? Group of answer choices A. the trait can be passed from fathers to sons B. the trait can be passed from fathers to daughters C. the trait can be passed from mothers to sons
