Most sex-linked genes like color blindness are located on...
The Y chromosome
The X chromosome
Autosomes
The X or Y chromosome
Why is colorblindness more common in males than females?
It is recessive and found on the Y chromosome so females can't have it.
It is dominant and found on the Y chromosome so females can't have it.
It is recessive and found on the X chromosome so males only have one copy...meaning if they have the gene they have the disease.
It is dominant and found on the X chromosome so males only have one copy...meaning if they have the gene they have the disease.
Human males have
One X chromosome
One X and one Y chromosome
Two X chromosomes
Two Y chromosomes
