One example of an X-linked trait is red-green colorblindness. Let (Xc) represent the recessive allele that causes colorblindness and (X+) represent the normal dominant allele. Females that are X+X+ or X+Xc have normal color vision, while XcXc females are colorblind. Males that are X+Y have normal color vision, while XcY males are colorblind.
