Which is not considered a sex-linked trait?

A. purple flower color in pea plants

B. eye color in fruit flies

C. red-green color blindness in humans

D. hemophilia in humans

D. Hemophilia.

The reason it is not a, b or c is because all of them have something to do with something you are born with. Which is genetically transferred.

Example: If your mother has cancer when you are born, you will not be born with cancer. However, if your mother had blue eyes, you could possibly inherit the trait from your mother.

Answer: D, Hemophilia

Answer: Chromosomes
