Not all traits are controlled by alleles found in autosomes. There are traits governed by the sex chromosomes.

These traits are called sex-linked traits.  
Sex-linked traits are recessive These are traits that are found on either one of the sex chromosomes.

Sex-linked traits affect both males and females. But in some cases, one particular sex is more prone to have a sex-linked trait.

A sex-linked trait is a trait genetically determined by an allele located on the sex chromosome. A trait that is determined by the allele on the X chromosome is particularly described as X-linked whereas that trait determined by the allele on the Y chromosome is said to be Y-linked.

SEX-INFLUENCED TRAITS
- are autosomal traits that are influenced by sex hormones
- It is  also a recessive trait
One of the examples of SEX-INFLUENCED TRAITS is baldness and it is influenced by the hormone testosterone.
And since males have a higher level of testosterone compared to females If a male has one recessive allele, he will show that trait, but it will take two recessives for the female to show that same trait.

Sex-limited traits are those traits limited to only one sex. Lactation is a good example of a sex-limited trait that is exclusively among females.
