What is X-linked and Y-linked inheritance?

These are traits that are linked to the sex chromosomes. Only males can get Y-linked traits because only males have a Y chromosome. (Note: it's a bit more complicated that even this explanatin, but this is the general idea) If the father has the X-linked trait he can only pass it down to daughters. If the mother has the trait, the daughter might not have the trait because the father's donated X-chromosome might have a gene that masks it. If a son gets donated an X-chromosome from the mother with the trait, he will definitely show the trait.

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.
