Definitions:

X-linked

A term referring to genes or genetic conditions that are associated with the X chromosome, often affecting males more frequently or severely because they have only one X chromosome.

Dominant-recessive

describes a genetic pattern in which one allele overshadows the effects of another, recessive allele in determining a trait's appearance.

Additive Genes

Genes that each contribute to the characteristic—they “add up” rather than one being hidden (recessive). For example, skin color is additive: It shows the combined genes of both parents, rather than taking after one or the other.

Test Result
