a. Height

It's true that if you have tall parents, you might be tall too.

But no proof is a sex-linked trait.

b. Hemophilia

This is a disease related to blood coagulation.

It's recessive and linked to X chromosomes.

c. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

This is also a recessive sex-linked disease.

Girls can carry but only affect boys.

d. Cystic Fibrosis

This is also a hereditary disease but not linked to sex chromosomes.

e. Sickle Cell Disease

It's a malformation of blood cells and it can be inherited but not linked to sex chromosomes.
