Sex-linked genes are primarily passed down through the X chromosome, which means that mothers are typically the carriers of these genes. Since females have two X chromosomes, they can pass on either one to their offspring. Males, on the other hand, have one X and one Y chromosome, so they only pass on their X chromosome to daughters and their Y chromosome to sons. Therefore, while both parents contribute to a child's genetic makeup, mothers are crucial in transmitting sex-linked traits.

How does a baby get her genes?
A child starts out as a one-celled organism called a zygote, which is formed when the father's sperm, containing half the father's genes, fertilizes the mother's egg, which contains half the mother's genes. So the process of fertilization, which occurs in the mother's fallopian tube, combines half of the father's genes and half of the mother's genes. After fertilization, the zygote divides into an embryo and makes its way to the mother's uterus (womb) where it is implanted and continues to grow and develop.
