What are three diseases that are sex linked like hemoplilia?
Three disorders which are sex-linked are: Fragile X syndrome Duchenne muscular dystrophy Colour blindness (most forms, but not all)
Is Klinefelter Syndrome sex-linked or autosomal?
Klinefelter Syndrome is sex-linked, because it is a genetic defect that results in a male having an extra X chromosome.

How did martin bell discover Fragile x syndrome?
Martin Bell discovered Fragile X syndrome in 1969 when he observed a family with multiple members exhibiting intellectual disabilities and behavioral issues. He noted a specific physical characteristic, an abnormality on the X chromosome, which he termed "Fragile X." This discovery laid the groundwork for further research that eventually identified the genetic mutation responsible for the syndrome. Subsequent studies confirmed that Fragile X syndrome is linked to the expansion of a repeat sequence in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome.
How many chromosome do you have when you have fragile x syndrome?
Fragile X syndrome is caused by a mutation that prevents the Fragile X mental retardation (Fmr-1) gene from being transcribed. This gene is located on the X chromosome (the sex chromosome). Since males only carry one of these chromosomes, they are twice as likely to be affected by the mutation than females.
How is Fragile X Syndrome Inherited?
Males and females can be carriers, male carriers can only pass on to their daughters, they will be carriers as well have a premutation. Females can pass on to their sons or daughters, they will have the premutation or the full mutation.
Is fragile x a x linked disorder?
Yes, Fragile X syndrome is an X-linked genetic disorder that causes a range of developmental problems. It is caused by a mutation in the FMR1 gene located on the X chromosome. The condition is more commonly seen in males than in females because they have only one X chromosome.
