Criss-cross inheritance refers to a pattern of inheritance where traits are passed from one parent to offspring in a way that alternates between genders, often seen in sex-linked traits. For example, a father may pass a genetic trait to his daughter, who then passes it to her son, creating a "criss-cross" pattern in the family lineage. This phenomenon is particularly evident in X-linked traits, where the inheritance of the X chromosome from parents to children leads to this distinctive pattern.
