SEX LIMITED TRAITS
• Sex Limited Traits are
generally autosomal, which
means they are not found on
the X and Y chromosomes.
• The sex limited traits are
expressed (visible) only in one
gender.
FEMALE GENOTYPES FEMALE GENOTYPES

XXLL Female lactating

XXLl Female lactating

XXll Female not lactating

MALE GENOTYPES MALE GENOTYPES

XYLL Male not lactating

XYLl Male not lactating

SEX LIMITED TRAITS
• These genes are present in
both sexes but….
• they are expressed in only
one sex while in the other
they remain “turned off”,
which means that the trait
has zero penetrance in the
other sex.
SEX LIMITED TRAITS
• Despite having the same
genotype, both the sexes show
different traits or phenotypes
for these genes.
• Sex hormone and other
physiological differences
between male and female affect
the expression of these genes.
SEX LIMITED TRAITS
are traits that are
visible only within
one sex

DISEASES
• OVARIAN CANCER
- A cancer begins in the ovaries of the women,
which is located on each side of uterus.

• Polycystic ovary syndrome


-A condition in which the ovaries produce an
abnormal amount of androgens, male sex
hormones that are usually present in women in
small amounts.
DISEASES
• Endometriosis
-A problem affecting a woman’s uterus—the place where a baby
grows when a woman is pregnant. Endometriosis is when the
kind of tissue that normally lines the uterus grows somewhere
else. It can grow on the ovaries, behind the uterus, on the bowels,
or on the bladder.
• Gynaecologic Cancer
-Any cancer that starts in a woman’s reproductive organs.
Gynaecologic cancers begin in different places within a woman’s
pelvis, which is the area below the stomach and in between the
hip bones.
DISEASES
• Prostate Cancer
- Begins when cells in the prostate gland
start to grow out of control. The prostate is
a gland found only in males. It makes some
of the fluid that is part of semen.
DISEASES

• Testicular Cancer
- A growth of cells that
starts in the testicles.
