I just came across some threads saying that banana/coral glow is a sex linked gene (and others saying it isn't), but the explanations for this kind of flew over my head. Me being curious about everything genetics related, I wasn't satisfied with not knowing. I understand that you have male makers and female makers, but I don't understand how that makes it sex linked. I have very little knowledge on sex linked genes in general, but from what I can understand, a sex linked gene is carried on a chromosome that determines the sex of an animal. Please correct me if I'm wrong, there. So what's the evidence for the banana/coral glow gene being sex linked or not?
Oh, and just to clear something up, whether a banana/coral glow is a female or male maker depends on whether their banana parent was male or female, right? If so, what happens if both parents are bananas/coral glows?
