Y-linked trait and an imprinted trait?

How could you differentiate between a Y-linked trait and an imprinted trait that is transmitted by males?

Y-linked trait and an imprinted trait?
Basic Mendelian disorders





Since normal males are XY and females XX,





Y-linked disorders are usually related to the SRY (Sex-determining Region Y) and usually have to do with


with humans with chromosome duplication XXY or XXXY or defects with sex determining region





Maternal (Mitochondrial) Inheritance





Diseases of the mitochondria are inherited in one of two ways: through the maternal lineage


or as autosomal disorders





Imprinting





Finally, For the vast majority of autosomal genes, expression may occur from either allele.


However, a small proportion (%26lt;1%) of genes are imprinted, meaning that expression occurs


from only one allele. The expressed allele is dependent upon its parental origin. For


some alleles only one parents allele is recognized and the other parent's is silenced





Imprinting is a huge problem with the cloning of mammals
