An X-linked recessive trait is coded for by a gene on the X-chromosome and is not dominant (is canceled out by the presence of a different allele).
Example of X-linked recessive traits are; Haemophilia A & B and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

How does the inheritance of x-linked traits differ from that of other traits?
X- linked traits can only be inherited through the x-chromosome, while other traits are inherited either by both the x and y chromosome or just the y-chromosome. Source: BSCS Biology: A Molecular Approach, Blue Version Ninth Edition
Are there superscripts on the Y chromosome?
Sex linked is general term both for X linked and Y linked traits . Traits present only on Y chromosomeare also called Hollandric .
What is a trait that is passed from parent to child on the X chromosome called?
Recessive traits on X chromosome are expressed in males because they have only one copy of X chromosome. If they have any recessive gene it will be expressed. In female both the genes should be recessive then only the recessive character will be expressed.
Which type of inheritance involves traits linked to a sex chromosome?
It is called sex-linked inheritance. If the sex-linked gene is on the X sex chromosome, it is often called X-linked inheritance.
How is sex linked traits are different than autosomal traits?
Sex linked traits are of 2 types X linked ,which are transmitted from maternal grand parent to maternal grand children through carrier daughter , and Y linked are transmitted from father to son , whiles autosomal genes transmit equally among children .
Are sex linked traits also called X-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.
How x linked traits affect the inheritance of sex linked traits?
Females have 2 X chromosomes so the X-linked genes follow the same rules of dominance & recessivity as the genes on the autosomes.
How does the inheritence of X linked traits differ from that of other traits?
X-linked traits are transferred from parents, or a parentto their offspring on the X Chromosome. That is the biggest difference--as opposed to being located on any chromosome, X-linked traits are only transferred on X Chromosomes. A common X-linked trait is actually colorblindness. Often, X-linked traits or disorders are recessive; since men have only one X chromosome (because they are XY), they are often more prone to X-linked disorders, whereas women, who have two X chromosomes, often become "carriers"--that is, they have one X chromosome with a certain trait, but the other X chromosome has a dominant trait that masks the manifestation of the other trait.
Where are sex linked traits found?
Most commonly sex linked traits are on the X chromosome, but rarely they can occur on the Y chromosome.

What are sex-linked traits?
Traits caused by proteins coded for on the sex (X and/or Y) chromosomes.

Human sex-linked traits involve genes on?
the X and Y chromosomes
What are x linked traits?
i think it is not not because its not a not of decision not because it is cells and disorders.
