What is another word for primary sex-linked gene?
Pronunciation: [pɹˈa͡ɪməɹi sˈɛkslˈɪŋkt d͡ʒˈiːn] (IPA) 
The term " primary sex-linked gene" refers to a specific gene that determines the sex of an organism. Synonyms for this term include "sex-determining gene," "gonadal gene," or "Y-linked gene." These genes play a crucial role in the development and differentiation of the reproductive system, leading to the formation of male or female sex organs. Primary sex-linked genes are found on the sex chromosomes, with males carrying both an X and Y chromosome, while females carry two X chromosomes. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of these genes can provide insight into the genetic basis of sexual development and related disorders.
