उत्तर
Sex linkage refers to the phenomenon where genes are located on the sex chromosomes, usually the X chromosome, and their inheritance is linked to the sex of the individual. Sex-linked traits are passed from parents to offspring through these chromosomes, leading to different patterns of inheritance in males and females. For example, in humans, disorders like hemophilia and color blindness are sex-linked, predominantly affecting males because they have only one X chromosome. Thomas Hunt Morgan's work on fruit flies established the concept of sex linkage by studying eye color traits inherited differently in males and females due to genes on the X chromosome.

How many linkage groups do occur in human being?
When a white eye Drosophila male (Xr Y) is crossed to a red eye female (XR XR), in the F2 generation all the females are red eyed and 50% males are white eyed. In a criss-cross test, when males are white eyed. In a criss-cross test, when a white eyed female (Xr Xr) is crossed to a red eye male (XRY), the F1 generation offspring had white eyed males while the female offspring bad red eyes. Instead of crossing of a white eyed female (Xr Xr} to a red eyed male (XRY), white eye female (XrXr) to white eye male (XrY) is crossed, the F1 generation will have the following phenotypes and genotype.
