Answer 10

there are more x's then y's so x has a higher chance of being correct
there is also this answer i found on the internet

On the top of the X chromosome, although some are found on the Y chromosome. However, it is far more common for sex-linked characteristics to be found on the X chromosome, which is why they are passed from mother to son in most cases.

Answer 11

First of all, Males have XY and Females have XX. Now most of the sex-linked genes are found on X-chromosome. Forxample Haemophilia. Though some are Y-linked too but mostly X-linked.
