Pedigrees and Sex-linked traits

Pair of human chromosomes that consist of the x and y chromosomes 

• genetic trait
• sex chromosome
• autosome
• gene therapy

This DNA is made up of about 3 billion base pairs and divided into thousands of genes on 23 pairs of chromosomes, all the DNA in the human species is found here

• pedigree
• x-linked gene
• human genome
• nondisjunction

Genes that are located on the same chromosome
