sex linked trait

Mendelian trait

Explanation:

Sex linked trait are those traits whose inheritance is based on the sex of individuals. The genes are usually located on the sex determining chromosomes as opposed to non-sex determining chromosomes or autosomes.

The frequency of occurrence of sex linked trait is more in a particular sex than the other. For example, baldness is more often found in men than in women, hence, baldness can be said to be sex linked. Other examples include hemophlia, color-blindness, etc.

Mendelian trait on the other hand are traits whose genes are located on autosomes. They inheritance usually follow simple dominance/recessive style and are equally likely to occur in male and female. Examples include hair colour, height, and diseases such as diabetes, etc.
