23. Can you give other examples of sex-limited traits in animals? Sex-Influenced Traits
Answer (1)
Other examples of sex-limited traits in animals:Lactation in mammals - Only females produce milk, although both sexes carry the genes for it.Horn development in sheep - Horns may develop only in males though both sexes have the genes.Wattles and combs in roosters - These are prominent only in male chickens.Fanlike tail feathers in peacocks - The extravagant tail is expressed only in males.Breeding time in certain birds (e.g., red-billed gulls) - Only females express this trait.Sex-limited traits are controlled by autosomal genes but expressed only in one sex, often due to hormone regulation.Regarding sex-influenced traits, these show up in both sexes but express differently. For example, male pattern baldness is dominant in males but recessive in females.
