Understand that chromosomes in humans are categorized into autosomes and sex chromosomes. Autosomes are non-sex chromosomes, while sex chromosomes determine biological sex.
Recall that the X and Y chromosomes are the sex chromosomes. Traits carried on the X chromosome are called X-linked traits.
Recognize that Y-linked traits are those found only on the Y chromosome, which is present only in males.
Know that autosomal traits are carried on autosomes, not on sex chromosomes.
Mitochondrial traits are inherited through mitochondrial DNA, which is separate from nuclear chromosomes like X and Y.
