Why can females but not males be carriers of sex linked genetic disorders?
Several genetic disorders are caused by genes on the X chromosomes.
Why can females but not males carriers of sex linked genetic disorders?
Several genetic disorders are caused by genes on the X chromosomes.
Is color blindness a dominant or a recessive trait?
Color blindness is a recessive sex linked trait.
What is more likely to happen to males because they have only one X chromosome?
sex-linked disorders
What sex is more likely to get a sex-linked disorder?
Many sex-linked disorders come from the X chromosome. (Either gender can obtain the disorder, however, it is harder for a female to get it than a male). Very few sex-linked disorders occur on the Y chromosome. (Only males can obtain these disorders).

Is sickle cell anemia a sexlinked trait?
Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.
Can males be carriers of sexlinked traits?
No. Carriers are people that carry the gene for something but exhibit no phenotype for it. Since males have no extra copy to hide a recessive trait, they cannot be carriers for sex linked traits.Answ2. Followers of this question should consult say haemophilia in wikipedia.com.
What is the main reason sex linked disorders are the most often observed in males?
Males are most likely to have the disorder.
What evidence is there that the long and round did not become blended?
A number of genetic disorders are caused when an individual inherits two recessive alleles for a single-gene trait. Recessive genetic disorders include Albinism, Cystic Fibrosis, Galactosemia, Phenylketonuria (PKU), and Tay-Sachs Disease. Other disorders are also due to recessive alleles, but because the gene locus is located on the X chromosome, so that males have only one copy (that is, they are hemizygous), they are more frequent in males than in females.
Why are males often affected more than females by sex-linked genetic disorders?
males have only one X chromosomes

Why do females face eating disorders more than males?
In many modern countries today, women are pressured to lose weight and meet the standards of models, some of which are totally unrealistic. Males are under less pressure to do this, generally, but there are males with eating disorders. One example is men who are jockeys, they have to maintain a certain weight, and some resort to eating disorders and compulsive exercise to do so.
Why do more males end up with sex-linked disorders?
More males than females end up with sex-linked disorders because of the y chromosome. It is shorter than the x-chromosome, and increases susceptibility to these problems.
