In Which Group Can Sex-Linked Traits Be Expressed

Question

In which group can sex-linked traits be expressed?
A) males only
B) females only
C) either males or females
D) carriers only

Accepted Answer

Sex-linked traits are located on the sex chromosomes (X and Y), and can be expressed in both males and females, but their expression may differ between sexes. For example, X-linked traits are typically expressed in a recessive manner in females (who have two X chromosomes), while they are expressed in a dominant or recessive manner in males (who have one X and one Y chromosome). Therefore, either males or females can express sex-linked traits, depending on the specific trait and the sex of the individual.
