There are several examples of X-linked traits. These all behave in men like dominant traits because there is no gene on the Y chromosome to counteract the genes on the X chromosome.

Examples: Hemophilia, male pattern baldness, and red-green color blindness are three examples.

Keep in mind that if a female inherits one of these genes from her father and one of a similar gene from her mother, then she can display these normally male-only traits. Hemophilia is usually fatal to young women at or before puberty. Many post-menopausal women can be seen to have male pattern baldness.
