Sex-Linked genes are recessive. Sex linked genes are carried on the X chromosome and not on the Y chromosomes. As a result, men are afflicted by these conditions more than women are.
This is an important topic. If you were absent from class, get the notes from a classmate and read the section from the textbook on Google Classroom.
Some examples of other sex-linked genes are:
1) Deafness (congenital) ( some other forms of deafness too)
2) Red green colorblindness
3) Mental disability
4) Short stature (idiopathic familial)
5) Melanoma
6) Hemophilia
