Types of genetic transmission
1. Sex-linked inheritance
 
In this type of inheritance, recessive traits, are inherited differently men and women. The features associatedwith sex, found on the X chromosome genes For example, if a person has trouble distinguishing red from green, is likely to be a man and you have inherited from the mother this difficulty of vision. 
Most sex-related genes are recessive, so if a child receives from a parent a recessive gene such as color blindness in one X chromosome and one dominant gene for example, normal vision colors, onthe other X chromosome from the other parent, the dominant gene will be expressed and will not have trouble perceiving colors. However, it can transmit the recessive gene, so that carries a gene forcolor blindness that can transmit to their children.
 
Males, having one X and one Y, if they inherit an X chromosome with a gene carrier of color blindness, always expressed difficulty perceivingcolors.
 
2. Incomplete domain
 
Sometimes, no gene dominates the other, but combine features of both. This happens, for example, blood groups. Thus, if a person inherits an allele for group A andone for the group B, could end up expressing the AB group.
 
3. Polygenic inheritance
 
This type of inheritance occurs when the features from the interaction of several genes. The color of theskin is inherited through the interaction of three or more separate groups of genes, three different chromosomes. These genes function together to produce hundreds of different shades. Other physicaltraits such as height and weight, and behavioral traits are influenced by several genes.
 
4. Multifactorial transmission
 
Multifactorial transmission refers to the interaction between heredityand environment. Thus, some physical characteristics such as height and weight, and all psychological traits are the result of multifactorial transmission. For example, if a child grows up in an...
