Question

The gene transmission from a male parent to a female offspring (“child”) to a male “grandchild” is called:

• A. Crisscross inheritance
• B. X-linked inheritance
• C. Y-linked inheritance
• D. Chromosomal inheritance

Hint:

Understand the inheritance patterns of sex-linked genes and their transmission through generations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Crisscross inheritance describes a genetic transmission pattern where a gene moves from a father to his daughter, and then from her to her son. This is typical in X-linked inheritance because males pass their X chromosome to their daughters, who can then transmit it to their sons.
