What is Red green color blindness and hemophilia are two human genetic disorders that are caused by a what?

Answer 1

Color blindness is a sex-linked genetic disorder. The reason that it is more prevalent in males is because the disorder is linked the the X-chromasome. If a male inherits an X chromosome that is defective, then they will be color blind. However, a female has two X chromosomes which means she can receive a defective chromosome and only be a carrier of the mutation. If she receives two defective x chromosomes, she will be colorblind.

Answer 3

these are x-linked recessive traits and effect only in homozygous state i.e.

heamophilia :it's caused by the lack of blood clotting factors.it's represented by small"h", so it will effect in xhxh (female),xhy (male)

color blindness: it's caused by the absence of red and green sensitive cone cells in the retina of eye.it's represented by small "c", so it will effect only in xcxc (female) ,xcy(male)

Answer 4

They are caused by mutations carried on the X chromosome.

Answer 5

Sex-Linked Gene
