Females are more likely than males to have anorexia.?
true, that females are more likely than males to have anorexia.
A trait that can only be inherited by a male would be a?
Y-linked (sex-linked) - it would only be found on the Y chromosome - and therefore it is impossible for a female to inherit this.X-linked recessive traits are much more likely to occur in males, but it is still possible for a female to have them (if they have a defective gene on both their X chromosomes).
Why are sex-linked traits more conman in males?
Because males have XY configuration of sex chromosomes and females XX. So in xy situation even the recessive gene can express. That is why sex-linked characters in males are more common than females.
Genetic drift tells us that individuals with traits that are favorable will be more likely to survive and have more offspring?
False

if they promote survival and reproduction.
Are sex linked traits more or less likely to show up in males?
More likely in males.
Why are males more likely than females to have a sex linked traits that are recessive?
Because they olny have one X chromosome.
Why are sex-linked traits more common in males?

What is the process in which individuals with useful traits are more likely to survive and produce more offspring with those useful traits?
natural selection
Why do some traits occur mainly in males even though they can be inherited only from their mothers?
Consider recessive traits on the X chromosome. Women have two of these, so it is statistically less likely that a woman would express this recessive trait and much more likely that it would be masked by a dominate X chromosome. If a male gets a recessive X from his mother ( remember, males have one X and one Y chromosome ) it is going to be expressed as there is no corresponding chromosome to mask it.
