Men are in most cases on average taller than women, but whether an individual is tall or not depends on what traits for height they received from their parents. Most of the time, if your parents were both tall you will be tall, and vice versa. However, if you are tall and your parents are both short, and vice versa, you may have inherited a recessive gene for either tallness or shortness that skipped your parents generation.

How do you know if a trait is sex linked dominant or sex linked recessive?

A trait is sex-linked dominant if it appears in every generation and affects both males and females. It is sex-linked recessive if it skips generations, more common in males, and passed from carrier females to affected males. Mendelian inheritance patterns can help determine if a trait is sex-linked dominant or sex-linked recessive.
