Hy,
Sex-linked diseases are those which are linked with sex chromosomes. We know, XY is the sex chromosome in males and XX in females.
Haemophilia is one sex linked disease, which is related with X chromosome. It is X linked disease. Usually, males are affected and females are carriers of the disease. Females will only be affected if the trait appears in both the chromosomes
Another disease is, Sickle cell anemia, it is also a sex linked disease.
Hope u understood.
