What statement is true about recessive sex-linked traits such as color blindness?
Recessive sex-linked traits are more common in males than in females.
Explanation:
Since males only have one X chromosome, if they inherit a recessive sex-linked allele, they will be color blind. Females, on the other hand, have two X chromosomes. So, unless they inherit two copies of the recessive allele, they will not be color-blind. Therefore, recessive sex-linked traits are more common in males than in females.
