Y-linked (sex-linked) - it would only be found on the Y chromosome - and therefore it is impossible for a female to inherit this.
X-linked recessive traits are much more likely to occur in males, but it is still possible for a female to have them (if they have a defective gene on both their X chromosomes).

What is x linked trait?
Normally sex-linked traits are carried only on the X chromosome, meaning a sex-linked gene can only be inherited from the father's X or the two mother's X's. However, there are occasions where the trait is carried down by the Y chromosome, meaning only the males would inherit it, and it would be expressed. This is very uncommon because the Y chromosome carries very little genetic material/information in comparison to the Y chromosome.
Which is the description best describes an entailed property?
property that can only be inherited by a male
Why is complete linkage present only in male drosophila?
The complete linkage present only in male drosophila for a few reasons. One is that it is a sex-linked trait.
Mendel hypothesized that reproductive cells have only one factor for each inherited trait this hypothesis is supported by the observation that?
the observation he did with pea plants and their genetic information.
Is a dominant trait seen in the first generation or the second generation?
Dominant traits tend to manifest whenever they are inherited. The real question is, "When do you see recessive traits?" Traits are coded in genes. We all inherit genes from both of our parents. If the dominant trait is capital Y and the recessive trait is lowercase y we can calculate the odds fairly easily. There are only four combinations that can be inherited from one pair of parents: YY, Yy, yY, and yy (this is usually visualized using a "punnet square"). Only in the case of both inherited traits being lowercase y will we see the recessive trait. Otherwise, we will usually see the dominant trait.
A color blind son inherited this trait from?
his mother because color blindness is a sex-linked trait that is found on the X chromosome, which is inherited from the mother, as opposed to the Y chromosome, which is inherited from the father. So a male can only inherit the gene for color blindness from his mom.
Why was it important for Henry to have a son?
At the time, the monarch inherited only through the male line. Females only inherited if there were no male heirs.
What is a trait that is expressed even if only one gene for that form of the trait is inherited?
It is a dominant trait. You only need one gene of a dominant trait for that trait to be expressed. You need two copies of the recessive trait in order for the trait to be expressed.
Why was it so important for Henry to have a son?
At the time, the monarch inherited only through the male line. Females only inherited if there were no male heirs.
What is an entailed property?
Property that can only be inherited by a male.
Why are only inherited traits not acquired one necessary for the process of natural selection?
Because the offspring of an organism with a desirable inherited trait is more likely to survive than the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait (because the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait will not have its parent's desirable trait).
What are the chances of getting hemophilia?
You can get it from your mom if she has the trait but that only apply to men, if your a girl you have to inherited it from your mother and father.
How does a dominant trait affect the phenotype of an organism?
If the the trait is controlled by only one allele and the allele is completely dominant then once inherited the offspring with exhibit that phenotype

Why construtor is not inherited in c sharp?
C#'s cocntructors ARE Inherited, thus I cannot answer why it is NOT inherited. It is like I asked "Why the female is easier to have prostate cancel than male?" (only male have prostate, female don't)
Describes a trait or an allele that is expressed only when two of the alleles for the saame characteristic are inherited?
I believe the answer is dominant. Please don't be rude if this isn't the correct answer.
When a trait has more then two alleles and how is that trait inherited?
Even though there are more than two alleles, an individual can inherit only two, one from the mother and one from the father.
