Quizplus · Accepted Answer

X- linked inheritance is influenced by the sex of individuals because certain genes are found on the X chromosome and males only have one X chromosome while females have two. Sex-influenced inheritance is influenced by the sex of individuals because certain traits are expressed differently in males and females due to differences in sex hormones. Sex-limited inheritance is influenced by the sex of individuals because certain traits can only be expressed in one sex or the other, such as milk production in females and male pattern baldness in males.
