Question

what is the difference between autosomal disorders vs sex-linked disorders?

How did molecular biology change or affect Mendelian genetics?

Answer 1

Autosomal disorder sex linked disorder

Disorder is related to autosome rather than sex chromosme Disorder linked to sex chromosme

there are two types Autosomal dominant and recessive also two type sex linked dominant and recessive

for autosomal dominant disorder one autosome should be in sex linked dominant If one dominant mutated in case of both males and females gene is present than the male and female both are affected   

In autosmoal recessive both the genes should be mutated . In sex linked recessive the male is affected when a single recessive gene is present in the X chromosome.

In females two copies of mutated genes should be present for expression of disease.
