Solution

The genes responsible for sex-linked characters are located in sex chromosome

Explanation:

The genes responsible for sex-linked characters are located on the sex chromosomes, specifically the X chromosome. These genes show a pattern of inheritance that differs from autosomal genes because males have only one X chromosome (XY), so recessive sex-linked traits are more commonly expressed in males.
