A recessive gene located on the X chromosome is the cause of hemophilia in affected individuals. Males are more likely to have hemophilia than females because?
Males only have one copy of the X chromosome
Are more likely to inherit hemophilia?
Males.
What are the pros and cons of being a male and female?
Male and Female Tradeoff: Female Advantage over Male Disadvantage: Males are more likely to have autism and serious mental disorders than females. Males are more likely to rage than females. Males are more likely to be stubborn than females. Males are more likely to criticize the law and government than females. Males are more likely to be struck by lightning than females. Males are more likely to be harmed by natural disasters than females. Males are more aggressive than females. Males are more sensitive than females. Males talk louder than females. Females live longer than males. Females are more beautiful and attractive than males. Male Advantage over Female Disadvantage: Males are stronger than females.

Could a Girl have hemophillia?
Yes. Hemophilia is sex-linked, and is much more common in males than in females, but it is not impossible for a girl to have hemophilia.
Why is hemophilia more common in males than in females?
The genes associated with Hemophilia A and B are located on the X chromosome, which is one of the 2 sex chromosomes. For males, who have only 1 X chromosome, 1 altered copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause hemophilia. In females, who have 2 X chromosomes, a mutation would have to occur in both copies of the gene to cause hemophilia. Since it is unlikely that females will have 2 altered copies of this gene it is therefor very rare for females to have hemophilia.
Why is hemophilia considered to be a sex link trait?
Because the gene that causes hemophilia is located on the X chromosome, so it will occur in males more frequently than in females.
Why males are afflicted with hemophilia more than females?
Because males have the chromosome XY. And Hemophilia attacks the X chromosomes, so if the disorder gets to the X chromosome of the male, it doesnt have another X chromosome to back it up like females do.(XX)
In the world are females or males more hungry?
most likely males
Why are females less likely to get hemophilia?
Females are less likely to show the symptoms of hemophilia but in actuality are more likely to have the genetic mutation for hemophilia. The reason they are less likely to show the symptoms is the fact that hemophilia is the result of a mutation on the X chromosome. Since females have two X chromosomes they likely have a chromosome that is not mutated as well. With the mutation normally being a recessive trait, the normal X chromosome is usually expressed instead. Since males only have one X chromosome, if the mutation for hemophilia is present, it will be expressed. For the same reasons, the chances of a female having the mutation is greater (however still very small), simply because she has two X chromosomes.
