Because the gene that causes hemophilia is located on the X chromosome, so it will occur in males more frequently than in females.

Is hemophilia a sex-limited or a sex-influenced trait?

Hemophilia, along with color blindness, is a sex-linked recessive trait. Hemophilia is when a person lacks a clotting factor in the blood. This results in the decreased ability to have blood clots. This can be dangerous because a person may internally or externally bleed to death. People with hemophilia must take clotting factors (by needle injection) frequently throughout their lives in order to live. As it is to be known, mothers are the carriers of these kind of traits. If a mother has the hemophilia trait, that means that her son will have hemophilia.

Examples of X-linked traits include red-green color blindness and hemophilia.
