The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which genes are present only in males, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Question The question asks about genes that are specifically found in males. This implies we need to identify genes that are linked to male-specific characteristics or are located on chromosomes that are only present in males. ### Step 2: Analyze the Options We have four options to consider: - Option A: X-link genes - Option B: XY-link genes - Option C: Hollandric genes - Option D: Incompletely sex-linked genes ### Step 3: Define Each Option - **X-link genes**: These are genes located on the X chromosome. Both males (XY) and females (XX) have X chromosomes, so these genes are not exclusive to males. - **XY-link genes**: This term is not commonly used in genetics. It may imply genes associated with the XY chromosome pair, but it doesn't specifically indicate exclusivity to males. - **Hollandric genes**: These are genes located on the Y chromosome. Since males have one Y chromosome and females do not, these genes are indeed exclusive to males. - **Incompletely sex-linked genes**: These are genes that may be linked to sex chromosomes but can also be expressed in both sexes, so they are not exclusive to males. ### Step 4: Identify the Correct Answer Based on the definitions and the exclusivity of the genes to males, the correct answer is **Option C: Hollandric genes**. These genes are present only in males because they are located on the Y chromosome. ### Step 5: Conclusion Thus, the genes that are present only in males are Hollandric genes. ---
