X-linked recessive trait
X-linked recessive trait refers to an attribute determined by recessive gene that appears only on X chromosomes ; because the gene determining these characteristics is recessive (that is, dominated by other genes that might appear at the same location on X chromosomes), such characteristics are more common among males; who have only one X chromosome .
X-linked recessive trait is also called Sex-linked trait
