Males are more likely to receive a sex-linked genetic trait because they have only one X chromosome. A certain trait on a woman's X may be covered up by another trait on her other X, men only have one X so they are stuck with whatever trait appears on it.
Males show sex linked traits because they have only one X chromosome and can be effected by a single recessive or dominant allele, while girls have two X chromosomes and can only be effected by TWO recessive alleles or one dominent allele.
Males, because while females have a duplicate of EVERY chromosome in their cells, in males the two sex chromosomes are different and therefore not duplicates.
Males, because if the trait is linked to the Y or X sex chromosome, males are more affected and females have a slim to no chance of getting it.
If you mean which gender is more likely to be adversely affected by sex linked traits, it is the male gender.
Sex-linked traits
Slashes in what? I don't know of any connection or notation for sex-linked traits involving slashes.
Sex-linked traits have alleles that are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome.
Genes for sex-linked traits can be found on the sex chromosomes - X and Y. Almost all sex-linked traits are determined by the X chromosome, because it is much larger than the Y chromosome and can thus carry more genes. A few sex-linked traits are known on the Y chromosome, including - believe it or not - hairy ears.
It is a sex-linked trait. Genes only found on the X chromosome can result in sex-linked traits. In humans these include hemophilia and color blindness.
Sex-linked traits are inherited from the organism's parents.
Sex-linked traits
Because the Y chromosome is so small and has relatively few genes, most sex-linked traits are governed by genes of the X sex chromosome, and are therefore X-linked.
Most commonly sex linked traits are on the X chromosome, but rarely they can occur on the Y chromosome.

Traits caused by proteins coded for on the sex (X and/or Y) chromosomes.
Traits caused by proteins coded for on the sex (X and/or Y) chromosomes.
No they don't, the autosomes are non sex linked chromosomes.
No they don't, the autosomes are non sex linked chromosomes.
It is called sex-linked inheritance. If the sex-linked gene is on the X sex chromosome, it is often called X-linked inheritance.
Often is certainly the wrong word. Such 'bad sex-linked traits' are considered rare.
In humans, most sex linked traits are carried on the X sex chromosome.
