In humans, most sex linked traits are carried on the X sex chromosome.

sex-linked genes
The "X" and "Y" chromosomes.
Most sex-linked genes in humans are typically found on the X and Y chromosomes.
Most of an organism's DNA is carried by its nucleus. The nucleus contains the majority of the organism's genetic material, organized into chromosomes. Mitochondria also have a small amount of DNA known as mitochondrial DNA.
The hereditary information within the cell is carried in the chromosomes. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of the cell and are composed of DNA, which contains the genetic instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms.
true
Sex-linked recessive traits are most often seen in men. This is because men have only one X chromosome, so if they inherit a recessive allele for a sex-linked trait on their X chromosome, they will express the trait. Women, on the other hand, have two X chromosomes, so they need to inherit two copies of the recessive allele to express the trait.

Males have only one X chromosome, so a recessive X-linked trait will be displayed in the phenotype [visible on the outside]. Females have two X chromosomes, so both of the chromosomes must have the trait for it to be displayed on the phenotype.
