Correct Matching
| Trait Type | Example | Gene Location |
|---|---|---|
| Sex-linked traits | Broodiness in poultry (X-linked) | Sex chromosome |
| Sex-influenced traits | Horn condition in Dorset sheep (polled/horned) | Autosome |
| Sex-limited traits | Milk production (expressed only in females) | Autosome |
| Multiple allelism | ABO blood group in human (3 alleles: Iᴬ, Iᴮ, Iᴼ) | Same locus, homologous chromosome |
| Pleiotropy | Double muscling gene in cattle (one gene — multiple effects) | Single gene → multiple phenotypes |
