Sex-linked traits are usually found

• on the X chromosome

• on the Y chromosome

• on an autosome

• only in gametes

A trait that is found primarily in boys/men is most likely

• Y-linked recessive

• X-linked recessive

• X-linked dominant

• Autosomal dominant

A trait that is more common in girls than boys is most likely

• Y-linked recessive

• Y-linked dominant

• X-linked recessive

• X-linked dominant
