Difference between X linked inheritance and Y linked inheritance
Genes that are carried by either sex chromosome are said to be sex linked. Men normally have an X and a Y combination of sex chromosomes, while women have two X's. Since only men inherit Y chromosomes, they are the only ones to inherit Y-linked traits. ... There are about 1,098 human X-linked genes.
