The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "A gene located on Y-chromosome and therefore, transmitted from father to son is known as:", we will analyze the options provided and identify the correct term for such genes. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Y-Chromosome**: - The Y-chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes in humans (the other being the X-chromosome). It is typically associated with male characteristics and is passed from father to son. 2. **Identifying the Gene Type**: - Genes located on the Y-chromosome are inherited in a paternal manner, meaning they are transmitted directly from father to son. 3. **Reviewing the Options**: - **Supplementary Gene**: These are independent dominant genes that do not relate to Y-chromosome inheritance. - **Complementary Gene**: These are non-allelic dominant genes that work together to produce a phenotype but do not relate to Y-chromosome inheritance. - **Duplicate Genes**: These genes determine similar traits but are not specific to Y-chromosome inheritance. - **Holandic Genes**: This term refers specifically to genes located on the Y-chromosome that are transmitted from father to son. 4. **Conclusion**: - Based on the definitions and inheritance patterns, the correct answer is **Holandic Genes**. ### Final Answer: The gene located on the Y-chromosome and transmitted from father to son is known as **Holandic Genes**. ---
