In human there are X and Y chromosomes. And so some of the more familiar gender-linked traits are hemophilia, red-green color blindness, some high blood pressure genes. These traits transferred from one generation to next generation are present in autosomal or sex chromosomes.In the case of a recessive allele on the X chromosomes, it will always produce the traits in a make because the make has only X chromosome. Since the recessive allele is present on the single X chromosome, it will be expressed.In contrast, females have two X chromosomes and the expression of a recessive allele friends on whether the other allele on the second X chromosome is also recessive. If both alleles on the X chromosomes are recessive, the female will express the trait, However, if one or both alleles are dominant, the female will not express the trait.So, the reason why sex linked traits are more common in males than in females is due to the difference in the number of X chromosomes between the sexes. Males with only one X chromosome will always be expressed, while females require both X chromosomes to have recessive alleles to express the trait.Correct option will be option d. Sex linked traits are more common in males than in females is because all alleles on the Y chromosome are considered recessive. Makes inherit a single X and single Y. They have only opportunity to express a recessive allele. Thus, option a. Will be incorrect.The higher prevalence of gender-linked traits in makes is unique genetic interaction between genes on the Y chromosome and those on the X chromosome. Genes on the Y chromosome can activate recessive genes on the X chromosome.Thus, option b. Will be incorrect.Females inherit two X chromosomes, which allows them to mask the expression of recessive alleles in one chromosome with the dominant allele in the other. It makes it less clunky for sec linked traits.Thus, option c. Will be incorrect.As it is not the case that all alleles on the X chromosome are dominant. Females can mask the expression of recessive alleles on the X chromosome by expressing the dominant allele on the other.Thus, option e. Will be incorrect.Thus,sex linked traits are more common in males than in females due to the unique genetic structure of sex chromosome, which results in a higher likelihood of expressing recessive alleles in males. The resin for this phenomena includes all alleles in the Y chromosome being recessive genes on the Y chromosome activating recessive genes on the X chromosome, females never expressing recessive alleles on the X chromosome and a recessive allele on the X chromosome always producing the traits in a male.Thus, Correct option will be option d. A recessive allele in the X chromosome will always produce the traits in a male.
