Males are most likely to have the disorder.

∙ 13y agoSex linked disorders are more common in males because they are most often linked to the X chromosome. Since males inherit their Y chromosome from their father, they undoubtedly inherited their X chromosome from their mother. Therefore, if the mother has one gene for a recessive disorder, or is a carrier of the gene, the son has a 50% chance of inheriting the gene from his mother (not including the chance of crossing over and other causes of genetic variation) and would then present with the disorder because his other sex chromosome is a Y chromosome. Females can only present with a sex linked disorder if the father had the disorder and her mother either had the disorder or was a carrier.

∙ 14y agoits because of the x and y chromosomes. the x is a large chromosome that is present in both males and females (women have XX) while the y chromosome is a smaller chromosome that is only found in males ( men have XY). if your a male and your father has a disorder then you have it because there is no other chromosome to suppress the y chromosome. women have two x's so one x can suppress genes or disorders from the other x.

What is x linked inheritance diseases?
X-linked genes are found on the sex X chromosome. X-linked genes just like autosomal genes have both dominant and recessive types. Recessive X-linked disorders are rarely seen in females and usually only affect males. This is because males inherit their X chromosome and all X-linked genes will be inherited from the maternal side. Fathers only pass on their Y chromosome to their sons, so no X-linked traits will be inherited from father to son. Females express X-linked disorders when they are homozygous for the disorder and become carriers when they are heterozygous. An infamous recessive X-linked disorder is Hemophilia A. Hemophilia is a disorder where blood does not clot properly due to a shortage of clotting factor VIII. This disorder gained recognition as it traveled through royal families, notably the descendent's of Britain's Queen Victoria. X-linked dominant inheritance will show the same phenotype as a heterozygote and homozygote. Just like X-linked inheritance, there will be a lack of male-to-male inheritance, which makes it distinguishable from autosomal traits. One example of a X-linked trait is Coffin-Lowry syndrome, which is caused by a mutation in ribosomal protein gene. This mutation results in skeletal, craniofacial abnormalities, mental retardation, and short stature. X chromosomes in females undergo a process known as X inactivation. X inactivation is when one of the two X chromosomes in females is almost completely inactivated. It is important that this process occurs otherwise a woman would produce twice the amount of normal X chromosome proteins. The mechanism for X inactivation will occur during the embryonic stage. For people with disorders like trisomy X, where the genotype has three X chromosomes, X-inactivation will inactivate all X chromosomes until there is only one X chromosome active. X inactivation is not only limited to females, males with Klinefelter syndrome, who have an extra X chromosome, will also undergo X inactivation to have only one completely active X chromosome.
Discuss the inheritance pattern that would be seen in a pedigree designed to study a recessive sex-linked trait?
Males are only going to have one X chromosome, so they will either show the phenotype or be normal. Girls will either be carriers or normal.
What are the symptoms of corticobasal degeneration?
The symptoms of CBD may begin with either movement disorders or cognitive disorders. The movement disorders seen in CBD are similar to those in Parkinson's disease (PD), and CBD is often initially misdiagnosed as PD.
What is the purpose of the phrase like a winding staircase mean?
The meaning of this is to try and give you a visual of the double helix, because if you have ever seen and winding staircase you should have seen that the stair case had steps well in this case the steps represents the linked nucleotides.
What are the sex related traits?
Sex influenced are expressed more frequently from one sex and rare from the other. Suppose, a baldness pattern is an autosomal dominant that most commonly seen in the males and need one gene to show, and in females need a two gene to show. These traits are expressed only in sex. For Eg:- Only female menses, and males carry the gene, they are unable to sow it
Is hemophilia mostly seen in males?
Yes. Mostly males. It is exceedingly rare for a woman to acquire hemophilia(unless she is a carrier of it). Women have a diminutive chance of having this genetic disorder.
Why are sex linked recessive disorders such as hemophilia most often seen in males and rarely seen in females?
The recessive genes are present on the X-chromosome. Female chromosome has another X-chromosome, which is dominant and masks the defective gene, and it is quite rare that both the chromosomes have recessive alleles. But, in males, the Y-chromosome has nothing to over mask the defective gene and the abnormality shows up in the form of the disease.
Are there any males with an eating disorder?
many men/boys suffer for eating disorders however, because it was seen as something associated with females not many men spoke out about it. but as in the media a while back the British MP John Prescott suffered from Bulimia. There is a growing number of males with eating disorders coming out.

When circadian rhythms are drastically out of synchronization with daylight and darkness cues what can that produce?
There are many sleep disorders. One is something called Non-24 and is seen mostly in blind people although sighted people also can have it.

What clues to the presence of certain genetic disorders can be seen in a karyotypes?
-Extra, missing or damaged chromosomes could show the presence of genetic disorders.
What are microbiological agents?
Microbiological agents are bacteria, viruses, protozoa and other mostly small organisms which can be seen mostly only in the microscope. They can cause various diseases and disorders in the host's organism, or just use the host's organism without any harm, or even bringing positive effect to the host's metabolism.

Where is a loggerhead mostly seen?
Loggerheads are mostly seen in warm, shallow seas but you will be able to see them other places as well! But like I said before they are MOSTLY seen in warm, shallow seas! Hope the information I have given to you has helped!
