Several genetic disorders are caused by genes on the X chromosomes.

sex-linked disorders
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).
The sex linked genes cause genetic disorders on the basis of gender. For example color blindness is human is located on the X chromosome and is reflected in males more frequently.

Males are most likely to have the disorder.
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.
males have only one X chromosomes
Sex-linked inheritance is things you(Or any other species) recieve from parents, diseases/disorders like being colorblind or having hemophillia are examples of a sex-linked trait. Males have XY and Females have XX, these traits can only occur on the X chromosomes meaning males have a much higer chance to recieve these effects.
