The most commonly sex-linked conditions are hemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and color blindness. These conditions are typically linked to genes on the X chromosome, making them more prevalent in males, who have only one X chromosome, compared to females, who have two. As a result, if a male inherits a faulty gene on his X chromosome, he will express the condition, while females may be carriers without showing symptoms.

Several conditions have been shown to be sex-linked in humans. The most well-known example is color blindness, which is more common in males due to its location on the X chromosome. Other sex-linked conditions include hemophilia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy, both of which predominantly affect males.
Most copies of harmful recessive alleles are carried by unaffected carriers who are phenotypically normal but carry one copy of the allele. When two carriers have offspring, there is a 25% chance the child will inherit two copies of the harmful allele, leading to a genetic disorder.
Yes, as in only males can have hemophilia.

In humans, most sex linked traits are carried on the X sex chromosome.
Kennedy
In sex-linked inherited diseases such as hemophilia, mothers most often pass the disease to sons.
Because most of the sex linked inheritance is in X linked rececieve gene. When that rececieve gene is carried to produce boy baby, the traits which are present in X rececieve will be co- dominant to Y.
