  1. Pattern baldness, moustaches and beard in human males are examples of
    1. sex-determining traits
    2. sex linked traits
    3. sex limited traits
    4. sex influenced traits
Correct Option: D

Sex linked traits are those like colour blindness or hemophilia, which show crisscross pattern of inheritance of certain genes together along with sex determining genes, because of their presence on the sex chromosomes. Sex limited characters express their effects only in one sex and not the other. Sex influenced characters appear due to the effect of particular sex hormone over different structures.
