- Present in all generations.
- When one parent has the trait and the other doesn't, approximately half of the offspring will present the trait.

For a X-linked dominant trait: 
- Both male and females can present the trait, but more females usually present it.

- Daughters with the trait always have either a mother or father that presents the trait, or both.
