False. In the case of sex-linked traits, specifically those linked to the X chromosome, both males and females can be affected, but only females can be carriers for X-linked recessive traits. Males have only one X chromosome, so if they inherit an X-linked recessive trait, they will express it rather than be a carrier. Females, having two X chromosomes, can carry one normal and one affected allele, making them carriers without expressing the trait.
