Y-linked traits are carried only by males and transmitted only to males, making them hemizygous traits. They do not skip alternate generations of males, as every male with the Y chromosome will inherit the trait if their father also had it. Therefore, the best choice is E, which combines the correct statements about Y-linked traits.
