Hemophilia is generally more severe in males because it is an X-linked recessive disorder, meaning that men have only one X chromosome, while women have two. If a woman possesses one defective gene for hemophilia on one X chromosome, she may still have a functional gene on her other X chromosome, often resulting in milder symptoms. However, if a woman inherits two mutated X chromosomes, she can experience severe hemophilia, leading to a higher risk of fatal complications compared to men. Additionally, women with hemophilia may face challenges related to reproductive health and bleeding during childbirth, increasing the potential for life-threatening situations.
What else can I help you with?
Are more likely to inherit hemophilia?
Males.
Is hemophilia more common in men or women?
It is more common in men.
Can using birth control be fatal?
Yes, but most women are much more likely to die as a result of pregnancy and childbirth.
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 are females less likely to get hemophilia?
Females are less likely to show the symptoms of hemophilia but in actuality are more likely to have the genetic mutation for hemophilia. The reason they are less likely to show the symptoms is the fact that hemophilia is the result of a mutation on the X chromosome. Since females have two X chromosomes they likely have a chromosome that is not mutated as well. With the mutation normally being a recessive trait, the normal X chromosome is usually expressed instead. Since males only have one X chromosome, if the mutation for hemophilia is present, it will be expressed. For the same reasons, the chances of a female having the mutation is greater (however still very small), simply because she has two X chromosomes.
What percent of drivers under eighteen are more likely to have a fatal accident?
Drivers under eighteen are significantly more likely to be involved in fatal accidents, with studies indicating that they are about three times more likely to experience a fatal crash compared to older drivers. This increased risk is often attributed to factors such as inexperience, risk-taking behavior, and distractions while driving.
Is albinism hemophilia progeria or huntingtons disease more common in males?

night
Are motorcycles more likely to be in fatal crash with fixed object?
Than cars-yes
Who are more likely to be the single parents men or women?
women.
Are women more likely to be bitten by cats?
Women are more often bitten by cats
Why is hemophilia rarely expressed in females?
Because hemophilia is a disease linked to a recessive gene on the X-chromosome, females have another X-chromosome to block out the diseased one. However, males have only one X-chromosome, so they are more often subject to hemophilia.
