The genes which remain confined to differential region of Y-chromosome are (1) Holandric genes.
Most of the X and Y are not homologous, however, and undergo NO CROSSING OVER. Traits coded on this DIFFERENTIAL regions of the X and Y exhibit inheritance patterns that are quite different from those shown by autosomal genes, and may be
- X-linked (located on the differential region of the X c'some)
- Y-linked (located on the differential region of the Y c'some).
Y-linked traits, which exist only in males, are known as HOLANDRIC traits. Under normal circumstances, females never express them.
