Yes, hemophilia is a sex-linked disorder, specifically linked to the X chromosome. It primarily affects males, as they have only one X chromosome; if that chromosome carries the mutation, they will express the disorder. Females, having two X chromosomes, can be carriers of the hemophilia gene without necessarily exhibiting symptoms, as they may have one normal X chromosome that compensates for the defective one.
