The 23rd pair of chromosomes are the SEX CHROMOSOMES and determine
gender:
XX = female
XY = male
Genes that are carried on the X chromosome are said to be SEX-LINKED. These
include male pattern baldness and colorblindness.
Since males only have one X chromosome, they have a greater chance of
expressing a sex-linked trait than females do!

zygote using the bold lines. Then identify which of the Mendels principles
can best explain the events of each stage:

a. Which one of the six characteristics, based on the data, is most likely
entirely genetic? __________________________________________
b. Which one of the six characteristics, based on the data, is most likely
entirely environmental? ____________________________________
c. List the four characteristics, based on the data, most likely due to a
combination of genes and environment? _______________________

d. Height has been proven to have a genetic basis, yet the two twins are
not identical heights. What reasons may explain differences in the
height of the twins? ________________________________________

e. The scientist gathered information about the adoptive parents (nonbiological). Would this information, when compared to the twins, help
identify genetic or environmental factors? ____________________

b. Black and orange coat color in cats is BOTH codominant and sexlinked. A calico cat is a female who is both orange and black. A

the breeder choose?
