A trait determined by a gene on the Y chromosome is transmitted
- A. from mother to sons
- B. from father to all his sons
- C. equally to sons and daughters
- D. to daughters only
Explanation
Only males carry a Y chromosome, and a father passes it to every son and no daughter, so Y linked traits run strictly down the male line. Nothing on the Y can ever appear in a female.
