Answer:
both males and females
Step-by-step explanation:
The sex chromosomes in male and female humans are X and Y chromosomes. X-linked traits are those traits which are associated with the X- chromosome.
According to the question, the trait is passed on a X-linked dominant condition, which means that the possession or not of the condition is dependent on the presence of the dominant X-chromosome. The dominant X-chromosome will always express itself even when in an heterozygous state with a normal X-chromosome i.e Xx. Hence, only a individual recessive for the X-chromosome will be normal.
A mother that is affected by the X-dominant condition will either possess a; XX or Xx genotype while a father that is normal (not affected) will possess a (xY) genotype. Since the mother passes one of her X chromosomes to her sons and the other to her daughters, both male and female children will be affected by the condition.
N.B: If the mother is heterozygous for the affected X-chromosome (Xx), half of her sons and half of her daughters will inherit the condition but if the mother contains two dominant X-chromosomes (XX), all of her sons and daughters will inherit the condition.
