Which of the following traits would most commonly be associated with sex-linked inheritance?

Traits associated with sex-linked inheritance are located on the sex chromosomes, particularly the X chromosome. Color blindness is a classic example of a trait that follows this pattern of inheritance. It is typically caused by a mutation in genes located on the X chromosome. Since males have only one X chromosome (XY), they are more likely to express color blindness if they inherit the affected X, whereas females have two X chromosomes (XX) and would need to inherit two affected X chromosomes to express the trait.

In contrast, height, blood type, and skin color are influenced by multiple genes and environmental factors and are generally considered to demonstrate autosomal inheritance rather than being linked to sex chromosomes. Autosomal traits are located on chromosomes other than the sex chromosomes and do not show the same patterns of inheritance that are characteristic of sex-linked traits like color blindness. Consequently, color blindness stands out as the most appropriate choice when discussing traits typically associated with sex-linked inheritance.
