What are genes that are on X and Y chromosomes that pass from parent to off spring called?

Genes located on the X and Y chromosomes that are passed from parents to offspring are referred to as sex-linked genes. In humans, the X chromosome carries many genes related to various traits and conditions, while the Y chromosome primarily carries genes related to male sex determination and spermatogenesis. Traits associated with these genes often exhibit inheritance patterns that differ from those of autosomal genes, particularly in terms of expression in males and females.
