X-Linked Recessive Trait
a. Usually more males than females are affected.
b. Affected sons are usually born to unaffected mothers; thus, the trait skips generations.
c. Approximately half of a carrier (heterozygous) mother’s sons are affected.
d. Never passed from father to son.
e. All daughters of affected fathers are carriers.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

X-Linked Dominant Trait
a. Both males and females are usually affected; often, more females than males are affected.
