One example of a sexually influenced trait in humans would be haemophilia. The gene responsible for haemophilia is located on the X chromosome, and if a man receives a gene from his mother (men's X chromosomes always come from their mother) that is positive for this trait, he will exhibit haemophilia. Women must have two X chromosomes that are positive for haemophilia in order to exhibit the trait, because it is a recessive gene.

What genetic traits are sex-influenced?
Sex-influenced traits are those where the same genotype results in different phenotypes in the sexes. One example of a sex-influenced trait is pattern baldness. If a male is heterozygous for this trait, he would most likely go bald. However, if a female was heterozygous for this trait, she would probably not go bald.
What is a multifactorial trait?
Trait that is controlled by many genes and is also influenced by the environment.
Why is height considered a polygenic trait?
Height in considered a polygenic trait because your height is influenced by multiple genes.

How are Genotype phenotype alike?
Genotype is the specific combination of genes that contribute to a trait that an organism has. (For example, the genes for being tall).Phenotype is the expression of the trait which is partially influenced due to the genotype and partly by the environment (Even if you have the genes for being tall, if you are malnourished you will not grow as tall).
