male inherit sex linked traits from thier fathers
sex linked traits are more common in males
females can be carriers beacuse they can be heterozygous for the trait
males are never carriers since they only recieve one sex chromosome

The statement that is not correct regarding s*x-linked traits is A. "Males inherit s*x-linked traits from their fathers."
s*x-linked traits are traits that are controlled by genes located on the s*x chromosomes (X and Y). In humans, most s*x-linked traits are located on the X chromosome. Because females have two X chromosomes and males have one X and one Y chromosome, the inheritance of s*x-linked traits differs between males and females.
Males inherit their X chromosome from their mother and their Y chromosome from their father. Therefore, they inherit s*x-linked traits from their mother, not their father. If a male inherits a recessive allele for a s*x-linked trait from his mother, he will express that trait because he only has one X chromosome. In contrast, females have two X chromosomes, so they can be heterozygous carriers of s*x-linked traits.
Therefore, the correct statement about s*x-linked traits is B. "s*x-linked traits are more common in males," because males only have one X chromosome and are more likely to express recessive alleles on that chromosome. The statement that is not correct is A. "Males inherit s*x-linked traits from their fathers."
I notice the Answer here is, option A.
For option A; Male don't inherit s*x-linked traits from their fathers, it only comes from their mother.. the mothers X- chromosome.
For option D; We know men can't be carriers because they have only one X-chromosome.. so the moment they receive an X-chromosome which has a disease or trait on it, they automatically express that disease or trait.
So with this points I just made, Option A is correct.
A. male inherit s*x linked traits from their fathers is not correct.
s*x-linked traits are traits that are controlled by genes located on the s*x chromosomes. In humans, s*x-linked traits are typically found on the X chromosome. Males inherit one X chromosome from their mother and one Y chromosome from their father, while females inherit one X chromosome from each parent.
Therefore, males inherit s*x-linked traits from their mothers, not from their fathers. Option A is incorrect.
