    Re: Spider question

    I believe balding is what they call a sex-linked trait, meaning it is carried on the X chromosome. That makes it impossible for men to pass it on to their sons, and also more likely that men will display the trait (they only need 1 gene, not 2). Color-blindness and hemophilia are other examples of this.

    Spider in BPs is not a sex-linked trait.
