Huh? Maybe more of the question could be useful...
If something is sex-linked, in Mendelian genetics, it has to be on the X chromosome, because the Y doesn't have genes like that on it. So, if you need two copies of the gene for it to express, and you only see expression in females, its probably sex-linked. I hope this is helpful... An example of this is Haemophilia... this condition is only seen in men, because it needs XX to not be expressed.
