Question
question (no number shown): both men and women have at least one x chromosome. options: true, false, no answer text provided, no answer text provided. question 2: men and women are affected by sex - linked traits equally. options: true, false, no answer text provided, no answer text provided. question 3: men and women are affected by autosomal traits equally. options: true, false, no answer text provided, no answer text provided.
First Question (Both men and women have at least one X chromosome)
Men have one X (and one Y) chromosome, women have two X chromosomes. So both have at least one X.
Sex - linked traits (especially X - linked) affect men and women differently. Men have one X, so recessive X - linked traits are more likely to affect them. Women have two Xs, so they can be carriers or affected differently. So they are not affected equally.
Autosomal traits are on non - sex chromosomes. Since men and women have the same number of autosomes and autosomal inheritance doesn't depend on sex chromosomes (except for possible hormonal etc. minor influences, but generally), they are affected equally.
