Match the type of inheritance with its characteristic: Autosomal Recessive | Normal parents may have affected children; Sex-Linked | Affected offspring in every generation; Autosomal Dominant | Typically transmitted through X chromosome; Autosomal | Both genders can inherit the trait equally.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to correctly match different types of genetic inheritance with their corresponding characteristics, providing options for Autosomal Recessive, Sex-Linked, Autosomal Dominant, and Autosomal inheritance types.
Answer
Autosomal Recessive: Normal parents may have affected children. Autosomal Dominant: Affected offspring in every generation. Sex-Linked: Typically X chromosome. Autosomal: Equal in both genders.
Autosomal Recessive: Normal parents may have affected children. Autosomal Dominant: Affected offspring in every generation. Sex-Linked: Typically transmitted through X chromosome. Autosomal: Both genders can inherit the trait equally.
Answer for screen readers
Autosomal Recessive: Normal parents may have affected children. Autosomal Dominant: Affected offspring in every generation. Sex-Linked: Typically transmitted through X chromosome. Autosomal: Both genders can inherit the trait equally.
More Information
Autosomal recessive inheritance means both parents carry one copy of the altered gene and can pass it on without being affected themselves. Autosomal dominant traits show in every generation as they require only one copy of the dominant gene. Sex-linked traits are often related to the X chromosome, affecting genders differently.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing autosomal and sex-linked inheritance patterns. Autosomal traits affect both genders equally, while sex-linked traits usually affect one gender more, typically males in X-linked recessive traits.
