Answer 1

Answer: OC.Sex linked traits only affect females, while autosomal traits affect both males and females,

Families with an X-linked dominant disorder often have both affected males and affected females in each generation. A striking characteristic of X-linked inheritance is that fathers cannot pass X-linked traits to their sons; fathers only pass X chromosomes to their daughters and Y chromosomes to their sons.
