Hemophilia, a blood clotting disorder, is an example of a sex-linked recessive defect. It occurs more commonly in males because the gene for hemophilia is located on the X chromosome. Females are usually carriers of the gene but are less likely to exhibit symptoms.

Is color blindness a dominant or a recessive trait?

Color blindness is a recessive trait, meaning that an individual needs to inherit two copies of the gene for color blindness (one from each parent) in order to be color blind. If an individual inherits only one copy of the gene, they are considered a carrier and will not exhibit color blindness.
