Sons inherit recessive sex-linked traits primarily from their mothers. This is because males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). If a mother carries a recessive allele on one of her X chromosomes, there is a chance she will pass that allele to her son, who will express the trait since he only has one X chromosome.

What is the pattern of inheritance for a sex-linked recessive trait in a pedigree?

Why will a male inhert x liked recessive gene from is dad?

A male inherits his X chromosome from his mother and his Y chromosome from his father. Therefore, he cannot inherit an X-linked recessive gene directly from his dad, as fathers pass their Y chromosome to their sons. If a male has an X-linked recessive condition, it must come from his mother, who can pass on the affected X chromosome. In summary, males inherit X-linked traits only from their mothers.
