Question: On which chromosome are holandric genes located?
Options:
X chromosome
Y chromosome
Both
Autosome
• Holandric genes are genes located exclusively on the Y chromosome. These genes are passed only from father to son because:
The Y chromosome is present only in males.
X and Y chromosomes do not undergo crossing over (exchange of genetic material) during meiosis.
Holandric genes are responsible for traits expressed only in males, such as some hair growth patterns or testicular development.
📌Other Options:
X chromosome: X chromosomes carry genes expressed in both males and females.
Autosome: Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes present in pairs (one from each parent).
