Question

which of the following statements are true regarding a recessive trait that is carried on the x chromosome? correct answer(s) females can express the trait. males can express the trait. females are more likely to express the trait. males are more likely to express the trait. both sexes are equally likely to express the trait. incorrect answer(s)

Explanation:

Females have two X - chromosomes (XX), so they need two copies of the recessive allele to express the trait. Males have one X - chromosome (XY), so they only need one copy of the recessive allele to express the trait. Thus, males are more likely to express X - linked recessive traits, and both males and females can express them.

Answer:

Females can express the trait.
Males can express the trait.
Males are more likely to express the trait.
