gonosomique
Gonosomique is a term used in genetics to refer to characteristics or traits that are related to the gonosomes, which are the sex chromosomes. In humans and most other mammals, gonosomes are the X and Y chromosomes. Females typically have two X chromosomes (XX), while males typically have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The genes located on these chromosomes play a crucial role in determining an individual's sex and also influence a variety of other traits, some of which are not directly related to sexual development.

Examples of gonosomique traits include color blindness and hemophilia, both of which are X-linked recessive disorders.
