Helpful?

A genetic condition arising when an allele coding for a specific genetic trait or disease is only found on the X-chromosome. If such an allele is recessive, a female (who has two X- chromosomes) doesn’t get the trait, but a male (who has only one X- chromosome) does. X-linked traits are carried by mothers and passed to their sons.
