Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of sex-linked traits, which are traits associated with genes located on sex chromosomes. In humans, these are the X and Y chromosomes.

Recognize that color-deficient vision is often linked to the X chromosome, making it a sex-linked trait.

Recall that males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX).

Consider that if a male inherits an X chromosome with the gene for color-deficient vision, he will express the trait because he does not have a second X chromosome to potentially counteract it.

Understand that females would need to inherit two X chromosomes with the gene for color-deficient vision to express the trait, making it less likely for females to inherit color-deficient vision compared to males.
