Solution
| Factors | Complete sex-linkage | Incomplete sex-linkage |
| Location: | The gene is located on the non-homologous region of the X chromosome (or Y chromosome). | The gene is located on the homologous region (pairing segment) of the X and Y chromosomes. |
| Inheritance: | Such genes are inherited along with the sex chromosome and are not transmitted from father to son (as with X-linked genes). | These genes exhibit inheritance patterns similar to those of autosomal genes because they can be transmitted through both the X and Y chromosomes. |
