Through crossing over during meiosis. In eukaryotic cells (us), there are these things called Histone proteins. TONS of these wrap around and form what eventually will be a chromosome in the nucleus of the cell. These chromosomes contain genes which contain genetic information in the form of DNA. If a trait is sex linked it will pass through to the offspring by meiosis, specifically during crossing over when homologous chromosomes exchange genetic information.

Wittaler [7]

Several are correct:

Affect males more than females

Can be carried by females

Are always expressed by males


A bit of explanation: sex linked genes are carried on the X chromosome. That’s why it affects males more than females...they only get one x from their mom. Females can be affected IF they receive 2 bad X chromosomes. So with a male, the bad gene on the x is always expressed. Color blindness is a good example of this.
