Answer: most sex-linked genes are on the X chromosomes because they are larger than Y chromosomes. Males are more likely than females to exhibit sex-linked traits

Step-by-step explanation:

Males are more likely than females to display recessive traits because a single recessive gene on the X chromosome is often not matched by a Y chromosome allele and therefore expressed.
