are there any physical features or phenotypes that are sex linked phenotypes in humans?

 

I think i read somewhere that Red-Green Colorblindness is Sex Linked..

 

Are there any other Sex Linked Traits in Humans (Not Desieses or medical conditions).

 

??

 

Thx in advance for any information.

pattern baldness is the only other one that comes to mind.

what about male-patterned baldness? linked to the Y chromosome... possibly

It's X-linked, just like red/green color blindness.

Sometime, somewhere I seem to remember reading about a "hairy eared" condition that was sex-linked (i.e. it only showed up in males) in a particular tribe....try a google search.
