Question

If a character is always transmitted directly from a father to all his sons and from their sons to all their sons, then which chromosome carries the gene for the character ?

• A. Autosome
• B. X-chromosome
• C. Y-chromosome
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Y-chromosome

If the character is found to be inherited from the father to all his sons and from their sons to all their sons, the chromosome which had carried genes is the Y chromosome, which is called the chromosome for maleness.

So the correct answer is option C.
