Which of the following is true of a cross involving a sex-linked gene but not of a cross involving an autosomal gene?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a cross involving a sex-linked gene, the gene is located on a sex chromosome (X or Y), and females have two copies of the X chromosome while males have one X and one Y. As a result, the phenotype outcomes for female offspring compared to males can be different because females have two chances to inherit the dominant allele, while males only have one chance. This is not true for a cross involving an autosomal gene, where both males and females have two copies of the gene and the phenotype outcomes are the same for both sexes. Therefore, option C is the correct choice.
