Sex linkage in genetics, is the tendency for
certain characteristics to occur exclusively,
or predominantly, in one sex only. Human
examples include red-green colour blindness
and haemophilia, both found predominantly in
males. In both cases, these characteristics
are recessive and are determined by genes on
the X chromosome.
