Y-linked inheritance Pedigree tree showing the inheritance of a Y-linked trait. Y linkage, also known as holandric inheritance (from Ancient Greek ὅλος hólos, "whole" + ἀνδρός andrós, "male"), [1] describes traits that are produced by genes located on the Y chromosome. It is a form of sex linkage. Y linkage can be difficult to detect.
Y-linked inheritance occurs when a gene, trait, or disorder is transferred through the Y chromosome. Since Y chromosomes can only be found in males, Y linked traits are only passed on from father to son. The testis determining factor, which is located on the Y chromosome, determines the maleness of individuals. Besides the maleness inherited in ...
Y-linked deafness, type 1 is a very rare type of hereditary non-syndromic deafness characterized by progressive hearing loss that exclusively affects males. It has been described in 42 males from 2 multi-generational Chinese families.
An example pedigree chart of an autosomal dominant disorder An example pedigree chart of an autosomal recessive disorder An example pedigree chart of a sex-linked disorder (The gene is on the X chromosome.) The description of a mode of biological inheritance consists of three main categories: 1. Number of involved loci
Genetic linkage is the tendency of DNA sequences that are close together on a chromosome to be inherited together during the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction.Two genetic markers that are physically near to each other are unlikely to be separated onto different chromatids during chromosomal crossover, and are therefore said to be more linked than markers that are far apart.

Non-Mendelian inheritance is any pattern in which traits do not segregate in accordance with Mendel's laws. These laws describe the inheritance of traits linked to single genes on chromosomes in the nucleus. In Mendelian inheritance, each parent contributes one of two possible alleles for a trait.
