Several are correct:

Affect males more than females

Can be carried by females

Are always expressed by males


A bit of explanation: sex linked genes are carried on the X chromosome. That’s why it affects males more than females...they only get one x from their mom. Females can be affected IF they receive 2 bad X chromosomes. So with a male, the bad gene on the x is always expressed. Color blindness is a good example of this.
