based on what the chromosome complement is
Term
Sex differentiation

How the tissues respond to hormone levels to produce a male or a female phenotype
Term
sex influenced traits
Definition
traits that are controlled by autosomal genes, but exhibit different genetic properties in the two sexes
Term
Sex-linked trait
Definition
their genes are carried on the chromosomes that determine the sex of the organism
Term
Sex limited trait
Definition
Traits that are expressed in only one sex, even though the corresponding gene is located on the autosome
Term
Autosomal chromosomes
Definition
chromosomes 1-22
