What are some examples of sex linkage?

Answer 1

Refer to the Explanation.

In humans, X-linked traits include red-green colorblindness, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, hemophilia A, and hemophilia B. These are all recessive traits that affect males more frequently than females. X-linked traits are sex-linked traits determined by genes on the X chromosome.

There are also Y-linked traits on the Y-chromosome that are passed exclusively from father to son. One of these genes is the #"SRY"# gene called the "sex determination region Y gene." It controls the development of the male sex characteristics in a developing male fetus.
