Sex-linked characteristics generally come from the father.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sex-linked characteristics are often associated with genes located on the X chromosome. Since males have one X and one Y chromosome, they pass on their X chromosome to all daughters and the Y chromosome to all sons. Therefore, sex-linked traits are more commonly inherited from the mother to both sons and daughters, as mothers pass an X chromosome to both male and female offspring.
