Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mode of inheritance is determined by whether the gene is located on an autosome or sex chromosome and whether the allele is dominant or recessive. This determines how the gene is passed down through generations and the likelihood of an individual inheriting a particular trait. The other options given do not reflect the mode of inheritance.
