Examples of sex-linked traits in farm animals include coat color in cattle, where the allele for red coat color is often linked to the X chromosome, and feather color in chickens, where the gene for certain feather patterns is also sex-linked. In sheep, the presence of horns or polled (hornless) traits can be influenced by sex-linked alleles. These traits often show different expression patterns in males and females due to their association with sex chromosomes.
