  • A The X-Y chromosome pair during meiosis ✔ ✖
  • B Pairing occurs in the terminal region ✔ ✖
  • C Hunter syndrome ✔ ✖
  • D Hemophilia ✔ ✖
Correct Answer

Explanation

Partial sex linkage refers to the genes present in the terminal regions (PAR) of the sex chromosome. While the X and Y chromosome pair during meiosis and pairing occurs in the terminal region, the inheritance pattern of the genes in the PAR region is not like that of sex-linked genes. Instead, it resembles that of autosomal genes. Therefore, the statement in option C is incorrect.
