Because the gene that causes hemophilia is located on the X chromosome, so it will occur in males more frequently than in females.
It is carried on the X chromosome.
Hemophilia.
Sexlinked and recessive.
Hemophilia ia a sex linked disorder that is normally recessive. There are many cases however where trait shows "incomplete or shared" dominance. In these cases the females will have lowered percentages of the clotting factor proteins and may for all intents and purposes be considered mild or moderate hemophiliacs themselves.
It is a sex-linked recessive trait inherited from the mother.
There are a number of "sex-linked" characteristics: male pattern baldness and hemophilia come to mind.
It is carried on the X chromosome.
A sex-linked trait is a trait governed by genes on only one of the two sex chromosomes.
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.
recessive sex-linked, X chromosome disorders, haemophilia is more likely to occur in males than females.
It is carried on the X chromosome.
When a trait is located on the X chromosome, it is referred to as an X-linked trait. This means the trait is inherited through the X chromosome and can show different patterns of inheritance compared to traits on autosomes. Examples of X-linked traits include red-green color blindness and hemophilia.
