Sex-linked genes are located on sex chromosomes and their expression can differ between males and females, affecting traits like color blindness or causing conditions like male pattern baldness.
Sex-linked genes have varied expression depending on gender due to their location on sex chromosomes, as seen in color blindness or hemophilia, or differential expression like baldness.
