The 10 pages that link to Sex-linked inheritance, each with the reason it gives.

• Cat coat geneticsRelated: The orange coat locus is X-linked, producing different inheritance patterns in males and females.

• Thomas Hunt MorganRelated: Morgan’s white-eye crosses showed why the trait appeared differently in males and females.

• Sex chromosomeRelated: Unequal chromosome inheritance produces characteristic patterns of transmission.

• Pseudoautosomal regionRelated: Pseudoautosomal genes are an exception to inheritance patterns expected for genes unique to X or Y.

• Boveri–Sutton chromosome theoryRelated: The white-eye trait provided a striking test of the chromosome account.

• Nettie StevensRelated: Identifying sex chromosomes made it possible to explain why some traits follow sex-specific inheritance patterns.

• Dominant traitRelated: A dominant allele on a sex chromosome can show inheritance patterns unlike autosomal traits.

• Recessive traitCompared with: Recessive alleles on the X chromosome can be expressed differently across sexes.

• Extranuclear inheritanceCompared with: It can produce sex-specific transmission patterns, but its genetic material is nuclear.

• Y linkageNarrower topic: Y linkage is one specific form of sex-linked inheritance.
