Question

Male pattern baldness is an example of:
a a trait inherited from both parents
b a body influenced trait
c a sex influenced trait
d defective meiosis

Answer 1

C.

Male pattern baldness is a trait gotten from the mother of a parent. It's a sex-linked disease. I believe I have answered on another post about the reason.

In short, X choromsome is gotten from the mother and the gene is found on the X choromsome. Male get their Y choromsome from the father. Since Y choromsome does not have the allele to "counteract" the recessive allele of X. Male pattern baldness is the result.

Answer 3

A. - A trait inherited from both parents is MOST correct according to current evidence. It was previously believed that baldness was inherited from a person's maternal grandfather. While there is some basis for this belief, both parents contribute to their offspring's likelihood of hair loss. Most likely, inheritance is technically autosomal dominant with mixed penetrance.

Answer 4

Baldness is sex related trait.

The baldness gene is a recessive gene of the X chromosome. so for women to be bald they need to have both X chromosomes with the recessive gene and men just have one X chromosome so...

It's sex related because it's a X chromosome gene.
