Is albinism hemophilia progeria or huntingtons disease more common in males?
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.
Is alopecia more common in males or females?
Alopecia is more common in males than in females.
Which chromosome contains the gene for hemophilia?
The X chromosome. That's why it's more common in males; females have 2 X chromosomes, but males only have 1. So if a woman has the hemophilia mutation on one of her chromosomes, she probably won't be affected by it.
Why is homphilia more common in males then females?

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
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)
Does Hemophilia affect men more than woman?
Yes, hemophilia is typically more common in males than in females. This is because the gene for hemophilia is located on the X chromosome, and males only have one X chromosome. In females, who have two X chromosomes, one healthy gene can compensate for the faulty gene, reducing the chances of exhibiting symptoms.
