my muddiest points are the meaning of autosomal and sex-linked. I know that they are opposites (autosomal is the opposite of sex- linked), but what do they really mean?
Autosomal just means that it is a chromosome not related to sex linked. Sex linked means characteristics that are determined by genes that are carried on the sex chromosomes, which are X and Y. Hope this helps!
