The recessive genes located on X-chromosome in humans are always
-
- lethal
- sub-lethal
- expressed in males
- expressed in females
Correct Option: C
Males have only one X - chromosome. Hence any gene present on the one X - chromosome expresses itself n males. Females have two X- chromosomes. The mutant allele must be present on both the X-Chromosomes to express itself phenotypically. If only one copy of allele present, then the female only becomes a carrier showing no external manifestation of the gene. Sublethal condition can never arise in males.
