Multiple Alleles
Male chromosome: XY
Female chromosome: XX
How is sex determined and
inherited?
When an egg is fertilized by sperm with a
Y chromosome the offspring is male.
Genotypes:
𝑋 𝐵 = no baldness (dominant)
𝑋 𝑏 = Male-Pattern Baldness
(recessive)
Male-Pattern Baldness
Male: 𝑋 Y mated with
𝐵
Female: 𝑋 𝐵 𝑋 𝑏 genotye
