What is Inherited on a sex chromosome that can cause human genetic disorder such as color blindness and hemphilia?
Inherited on a sex chromosome, genetic disorders such as color blindness and hemophilia are caused by mutations in specific genes located on the X chromosome. These disorders are more commonly seen in males because they have only one X chromosome, making them more likely to express recessive X-linked traits. Females, with two X chromosomes, are typically carriers of the mutated gene but may not exhibit the disorder unless they inherit two copies of the mutated gene.
