What could be an example of sex influenced trait?

Answer 1

Sex influenced traits are controlled by genes present on autosomes , hence such genes are present in both the sexes but their expression varies in different sexes.

Examples of sex influenced traits may include soft facial hair in females vs coarse facial hairs in males. Another important example is baldness in males, typically expressed in presence of high level of hormone testosterone . Females having the same allelic combination will not express the trait.

An example of a sex-influenced trait is male pattern baldness. While both males and females inherit the genes responsible for hair loss, the expression of this trait is influenced by sex hormones. Males are more likely to exhibit baldness due to the effects of testosterone, while females with the same genetic predisposition may not experience significant hair loss because of their lower levels of testosterone.
