Sex-linked traits are more common in males than in females. This because recessive allele in the X chromosome and produces the trait in males.
Sex-linked traits are a special case. They are controlled by genes on the sex chromosomes, X and Y. The female has two X chromosomes and the male has one X and one Y.
Only one X gene is active in the female. The other is inactivated and shows as a Barr Body. Which one will be inactivated is by chance alone.
Both males and females are equally likely to have a recessive allele on one X chromosome. A male does not have another X chromosome.
So, if he has the recessive allele on his one X chromosome, he will have the trait. Period.
The traits which are influenced by the sex are called sex limited traits. These traits are just limited to one sex, either in male or female. For example, the genes for pattern baldness are present in both the sexes but expresses more in male as compare to female.
Studies have shown that antisocial personality disorder, which includes traits commonly associated with sociopathy, is more common in males than females. However, it is important to note that sociopathy can manifest differently in each individual and is not limited by gender.
The condition occurs three times more often in male infants than in females.
Males and females have different sex chromosomes.
It's more of a male name. females do have it, but it is more common in males.
Male cheetahs are generally larger than females.
There is no set rule, one male and one female would do, but suggest 2 males and 6 females with the same traits. Most local fish stores will recommend 1 male with 2 or 3 females for any livebearers.

Sex-link genes are genes that are located on a sex chromosome, typically the X or Y chromosome. These genes can have unique inheritance patterns and effects on traits based on an individual's sex. For example, genes located on the X chromosome can display different phenotypes in males and females due to X inactivation in females. In contrast, Y-linked genes are only present in males and can influence male-specific traits or functions.
No. While most of their physical traits may seem identical, adult males will have a swollen cloaca while females will not. Often during breeding season, the male's cloaca will increase in size. Adult females also tend to be a little larger than their male counterparts.
Instrumental traits are the mostly masculine/male traits
No. Male platypuses do not have darker fur than females.
