Question

What do you understand by autosomal and allosomal linkage?

Answer 1

Answer:

Sex linkage describes the sex-specific patterns of inheritance and presentation when a gene mutation (allele) is present on a sex chromosome (allosome) rather than a non-sex chromosome (autosome). ... The inheritance and presentation of all three differ depending on the sex of both the parent and the child.

Explanation:

Autosomes differ from allosomes because autosomes appear in pairs whose members have the same form but differ from other pairs in a diploid cell, whereas members of an allosome pair may differ from one another and thereby determine sex.

Answer 2

Explanation:

1. autosome are all the chromosomes other than sex chromosome
2. allosomes are chromosome is controlling sex of an individual
