Punnett Squares and Sex-Linked Traits



Explore inheritance when carried on the X chromosome with the Amoeba Sisters! This video has a handout here:

This video focuses on how to do general Punnett square problems that involve traits on the sex chromosomes (X and Y chromosomes). We do want to point out though that when it comes to biological sex- it can be influenced by more than just sex chromosomes X and Y. For example, the SRY gene, plays a major role in human biological sex determination. While this video only focuses on solving sex-linked trait problems in a Punnett square, here are some further reading suggestions to learn about the SRY gene and its role in biological sex.

  2. I use capital N for normal / healthy & n for defect / bad news allele. That way its the same for red-green color blindness, hemophilia and muscular dystrophy. That way i don’t break the “rule” or etiquette of using Capital for dominance…love your work <3

  3. Yeah, it always freaks out my teachers when I say I have protanomaly colorblindness…. And I'm a girl. I mean my dad has colorblindness and my mom is a carrier (well we knew after I was in kindergarten that she was carrier). I know it's rare but it does happen. They always say that they've never had a girl student with colorblindness. I've met a few women with colorblindness, so I don't know how they've never had one before.

  4. When you get to the Punnett Square part, you go way too fast and only give one example. Isn't that supposed to be the focus of this video?

  5. Why can't the male with hemophilia be a carrier even if he is affected? Won't his mutated allele show in the punnet square?

  6. Omg!!My science Teacher let me watch this i luv it!! ITS FUNNy sOMetimEs but you did really smart,genius and cool i like the way you are 🙂 welp,im not gay ok? Ima a girl.😄😄😄
