Question

question 3
genes located on the sex chromosomes but do not affect gender are called
non - gendered
autosomes
x - linked
non - linked

Explanation:

• Non - gendered: This is not a standard biological term for genes on sex chromosomes that don't affect gender.
• Autosomes: Autosomes are non - sex chromosomes. So this option is incorrect as the question is about genes on sex chromosomes.
• X - linked: X - linked genes are located on the X chromosome (a sex chromosome) and do not necessarily affect gender determination. For example, color - blindness gene is X - linked and has nothing to do with gender determination.
• Non - linked: This is not a relevant term for genes on sex chromosomes in the context of the question.

Answer:

C. X - linked
