Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Red-green color-blindness is an example of an X-linked trait because the gene responsible for color vision is found on the X chromosome. Since males only have one X chromosome, they are more likely to express the trait if they inherit the faulty gene, whereas females can potentially inherit two X chromosomes and may only express the trait if both copies are faulty. Choices A, B, and D are not X-linked traits.
