State
An X-linked trait's gene sits on the X chromosome, so a male, with only one X, expresses whatever allele that single X carries.
Show
A Drosophila male with one X-linked white-eye allele shows the trait, with no second allele to mask it.
Watch for
A male's single X leaves him hemizygous at every X-linked locus — dominance applies differently there than at an autosomal locus.
