What is Holandric Inheritance

Question

What is holandric inheritance?
A) Where males have an extra Y chromosome
B) Where females have a Y chromosome
C) Inheritance where recessive traits are observed in males more than in females.
D) Inheritance of genes on the Y-chromosome

Accepted Answer

Holandric inheritance is the inheritance of genes located on the Y chromosome, which are only present in males. Therefore, option D is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because an extra Y chromosome in males is a chromosomal abnormality that is not related to holandric inheritance. Option B is incorrect because females do not have a Y chromosome. Option C is incorrect because this type of inheritance is called sex-linked recessive inheritance, which is different from holandric inheritance.
