Answer:

X-linked is a trait where a gene is located on the X chromosome.

Step-by-step explanation:

Humans and other mammals have two sex chromosomes, the X and the Y. In an X-linked or sex linked disease, it is usually males that are affected because they have a single copy of the X chromosome that carries the mutation.
