How are sex-linked traits and sex-influence traits different?

Sex-linked traits are found on sex chromosomes (X and Y in humans) - which means that the different sexes have different chances of having the trait.

For example, if a gene is located on the Y chromosome (which few are, as it is quite small compared to the X chromosome) - then only males can have that gene.

Sex-influenced traits are traits that are expressed differently in the different sexes, despite them having the same genotype. An example of this would be pattern baldness, if a male has Bb, he will go prematurely bald. However, a female with the same alleles, Bb is very unlikely to have the same kind of baldness (but it is still possible). These traits are found on the autosomes (non-sex chromosomes).
