Males are much more likely to be affected by an x-linked disorder because they only have one copy of the x-allele, so if they carry an abnormal version, it will be expressed. On the other hand, since women have two copies of the x-allele, they would need two copies of the abnormal gene to show the disease.
DefinitionSex-linked dominant is a rare way that a trait or disorder can be passed down through families. A single abnormal gene on the X chromosome can cause a sex-linked dominant disease.Related terms and topics:Autosomal dominantAutosomal recessiveChromosomeGeneGenetic counseling and prenatal diagnosisHeredity and diseaseInheritanceSex-linked recessiveAlternative NamesInheritance - sex-linked dominant; Genetics - sex-linked dominant; X-linked dominant; Y-linked dominantInformationInheritance of a specific disease, condition, or trait depends on the type of chromosome affected (autosomal or sex chromosome). It also depends on whether the trait is dominant or recessive. Sex-linked diseases are inherited through one of the sex chromosomes (the X or Y chromosome).Dominant inheritance occurs when an abnormal gene from one parent is capable of causing disease, even though a matching gene from the other parent is normal. The abnormal gene dominates the gene pair.For an X-linked dominant disorder: If the father carries the abnormal X gene, all of his daughters will inherit the disease and none of his sons will have the disease. If the mother carries the abnormal X gene, half of all their children (daughters and sons) will inherit the disease tendency.In other words, if there are four children (two males and two females) and the mother is affected (one abnormal X, she has the disease) but the father is not, the statistical expectation is for:Two children (one girl and one boy) with the diseaseTwo children (one girl and one boy) without the diseaseIf there are four children (two males and two females) and the father is affected (abnormal X, he has the disease) but the mother is not, the statistical expectation is for:Two girls with the diseaseTwo boys without the diseaseThis does not mean that the children will necessarily be affected.
the amount of ozone in the atmosphere began to drop sharply in the 1980s . this decrease has been linked to synthetic chemicals like chlorofluorocarbons which are used in refrigerants and in fire extinguisher's .

Aging has been linked to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage in two ways. Mitochondrial DNA provides energy to the cells, when it gets damaged, it will not provide the energy that is needed to function properly, and then the host will get sick. Damaged mitochondrial DNA also plays a role in genetic diseases, it is similar to damaged mitochondrial DNA seen in older humans, but only the damage presents itself much sooner.
'Mechanical Properties' is a property which is the behaviour of the material when its linked to the application of force such as Strength.
They are both compulsive behaviour, I'm pretty sure that is the link.
No, but it can change his behaviour. Character, on its deepest sense is linked to hereditary issues, and can't be modified.

It usually occurs when an artery and vein that are side-by-side are damaged and the healing process results in the two becoming linked.
To prevent damage to the component it is linked to Example a surge or power is stopped at the fuse, whereas if it was not then the component would be damaged
Odds favor X-linked diseases because everyone has a least one X chromosome as opposed to a Y which only 50% (males) have. Since women have two Xs, they are less affected by X-linked diseases too, because they have likely inherited one perfect X from one parent and one damaged X from the other, where a man only has one X from his mom so if it's damaged he's going to have the disease expressed when his sister might not or have a milder version of the same disorder.

DefinitionSex-linked diseases are inherited through one of the "sex chromosomes" -- the X or Y chromosomes. Autosomally inherited diseases are inherited through the non-sex chromosomes (autosomes), pairs 1 through 22.Dominant inheritance occurs when an abnormal gene from one parent is able to cause disease even though the matching gene from the other parent is normal. The abnormal gene dominates.Recessive inheritance occurs when both matching genes must be abnormal to produce disease. If only one gene in the pair is abnormal, the disease does not show up or is mild. Someone who has one abnormal gene (but no symptoms) is called a carrier. A carrier can pass this abnormal gene to his or her children.The term "sex-linked recessive" usually refers to X-linked recessive.See also:Autosomal dominantAutosomal recessiveChromosomeGeneGenetic counseling and prenatal diagnosisHeredity and diseaseInheritanceSex-linked dominantAlternative NamesInheritance - sex-linked recessive; Genetics - sex-linked recessive; X-linked recessiveInformationX-linked diseases usually occur in males. Males have only one X chromosome. A single recessive gene on that X chromosome will cause the disease.The Y chromosome is the other half of the XY gene pair in the male. However, the Y chromosome doesn't contain most of the genes of the X chromosome. It therefore doesn't protect the male. This is seen in diseases such as hemophilia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.TYPICAL SCENARIOSFor a given birth, if the mother is a carrier (only one abnormal X chromosome) and the father is normal:25% chance of a normal boy25% chance of a boy with disease25% chance of a normal girl25% chance of a carrier girl without diseaseIf the father has the disease and the mother is normal:100% chance of a normal boy100% chance of a carrier girl without diseaseX-LINKED RECESSIVE DISORDERS IN FEMALESFemales can get an X-linked recessive disorder, but this is very rare. An abnormal gene on the X chromosome from each parent would be required, since a female has two X chromosomes. This could occur in the two scenarios below.For a given birth, if the mother is a carrier and the father has the disease:25% chance of a healthy boy25% chance of a boy with the disease25% chance of a carrier girl25% chance of a girl with the diseaseIf the mother has the disease and the father has the disease:100% chance of the child having the disease, whether boy or girl.The odds of either of these two scenarios are so low that X-linked recessive diseases are sometimes referred to as "male only" diseases. However, this is not technically correct.Female carriers can have a normal X chromosome that is abnormally inactivated. This is called "skewed X-inactivation." These females may have symptoms similar to those of males.
There is no specific rhythm linked to an eating disorder. Arrhythmia is the term for an irregular heart rhythm. People with eating disorders generally suffer from arrhythmias brought on from electrolyte imbalances, the most common and dangerous is potassium, or hypokalemia which can be fatal left untreated.
