Y-linked

[wī′lingkt]

pertaining to genes or to the characteristics or conditions they transmit that are carried on the Y chromosome. Excess hair on the pinna of the ear may be Y-linked. Compare X-linked. See also sex-linked. Y linkage, n.

Y-linked

adjective Referring to a gene of sequence of DNA which is located on the Y chromosome and, by necessity, is, passed from father to son. Cf X-linked.

Y-linked
