The fact that people with red hair usually have freckles is an illustration of?
Gene linkages, it's also and example of recessiveness but that's not one of the answers. Basically the gene for red hair and freckles are located in similar places on the human genome therefor the are assorted dependently. During crossover they are more likely to cross over together onto the new chromosome formed in meiosis.





This is different than a sex linked trait. A sex linked trait is so because the gene is found on the X chromosome and because males do not have a second X chromosome as females do if there is a recessive allele such as hemophilia or colorblindness then it is going to be expressed.





Just to even further explain my answer it has to do with the Locus (location) of the allele on the chromosome and how close it is to other genes on the chromosome. They're more likely to crossover toghether.
Reply:If that's a male characteristic, that's news to me. My father had red hair and no freckles. He did have a very pale complexion, though. Another thing I've noticed about redheads is that they usually have either blue or brown eyes yet they are almost always portrayed in the media as having green eyes. I've rarely seen that in real life.
Reply:Jackie is correct. Gene linkage.
Reply:d. gene linkage





just like males and color blindness, it's sex linked.


and same for hemophilia, you find it more in guys than girls.


big time
