Answer:
•The gene responsible for the albinism is sex-linked
•The gene responsible for the albinism is recessive
• The pedigree is contained in the attached file
Explanation:
The gene responsible for the trait of albinism is said to be sex-linked because all those that were mentioned with the expression of albinism were females
The gene responsible for the trait of albinism is also said to be recessive because it was found to be rarely expressed and this goes in line with the definition of a recessive gene, which says; a recessive gene is the gene that remains unexpressed ( phenotypically) in the presence of it counterpart ( the dominant gene) in an allelic pair.
The trait (phenotype) of albinism is caused by sex-linked recessive genes.
Sex linked Genes:
These genes are present in the sex chromosomes. They are sex dependent means they cause disease in either male or female.
Recessive Gene:
A gene that expressed only when both the alleles are present. They do not express often.
In the given story the albinism trait appears only in females and very rare,
Therefore, the trait (phenotype) of albinism is caused by sex-linked recessive genes.
