Rapid emergence of baculovirus resistance in codling moth due to dominant, sex-linked inheritance.

Unless there is a family history consistent with sex-linked inheritance, the condition is often misdiagnosed as cerebral palsy.

Sex-linked inheritance (gonosomal loci)

Morgan and his students eventually elucidated many basic principles of heredity, including sex-linked inheritance, epistasis, multiple alleles, and gene mapping.

His studies of the white-eye mutation and discovery of sex-linked inheritance provided the first experimental evidence that chromosomes are the carriers of genetic information.
