In mammals, Y-linkage, also known as holandric inheritance, is the determination of a phenotypic trait by an allele (or gene) on the Y chromosome.

Because the Y-chromosome is small and does not contain many genes, few traits are Y-linked, and Y-linked diseases are rare. Since the only humans who have a Y chromosome are males, Y-linked traits are passed only from father to son, with no interchromosomal genetic recombination.

Y-Chromosome deletions are a frequent genetic cause of male infertility. Having hairy ears was once thought to be a Y-linked trait in humans, but that hypothesis has been discredited.

I'll mark this one solved too.

Ehd123, I'll eventually look at all the questions you posted, but I'm retiring for the day!

Will continue tomorrow
