    Sex linked genes are found on X and Y gene only which is unlikely characteristics of linked gene being found on any gene other than sex gene X and Y. Their inheritance pattern is also different

    Explanation:

    Similarity

    a) Both the sex linked and linked genes are carried along with parent gene (to which they are linked) to the new offspring.

    b) Can be found on any gene

    Difference

    a) Linked genes have no association with the chromosomal sexuality of an individual or type of gene to which they are associated while the sex linked gene depend and are transferred based on the chromosomal sex of an individual and along with the specific gene to which they are linked only. The X linked gene will be transferred only by female or male X gene and not the Y gene.

    b) Only found on the X and Y gene
