∙ 10y agoIn humans, females (XX) have two X chromossomes whereas males only have one. While most of one of the X chromossomes is deactivated in females it's still less likely for females to get an X-linked genetic disorder unless in double dose or a dominante gene. For males (XY), on the other hand, since they only have one X chromossome that isn't deactivated, one dose is usually enough to cause them to have the disorder, whether the gene is recessive or dominant. That's why males are way more likely to get such disorders than females. Hemofilia, daltonism and baldness would be three examples.
Traits linked to the Y chromossome will practically always manifest in males, and never in females. Hairy ears would be one example.

Sex-linked traits are located on sex chromosomes and are typically inherited differently between males and females. Sex-influenced traits are genes that are expressed differently depending on the sex of the individual. Sex-limited traits are expressed in only one sex due to anatomical or physiological differences.

Both sex-linked and sex-influenced traits are influenced by the individual's sex. Sex-linked traits are determined by genes located on the sex chromosomes, while sex-influenced traits are influenced by sex hormones and may be expressed differently in males and females despite being on autosomes.
Sex-linked inheritance involves traits that are linked to genes on the sex chromosomes (X and Y). Traits carried on the X chromosome are typically expressed differently in males and females due to differences in the number of X chromosomes they inherit. Examples include color blindness and hemophilia.

Because males have an X and Y chromosome. If the trait is X-linked (recessive), there is nothing to mask the expression. On the other hand if a woman has an x-linked recessive allele and a dominant one, the dominant trait is the one that will be expressed.
a sex-linked, or X-linked disorder
Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that is X-linked, meaning it is carried on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, so even if one carries the gene for hemophilia, the other X chromosome can usually compensate for it. In males, who only have one X chromosome, the gene for hemophilia is more likely to be expressed.
X-linked are not recessive nor dominant. X-linked just do not show. On the sex-linked chromosomes the Y chromosome of the X-Y pair dominates the trait whether its recessive or dominant!Actually, all x-linked alleles are expressed because males only have one x-chromosome, so whatever is there, dominant or recessive, is expressed.
