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.
