Males are generally more susceptible to sex-linked diseases, particularly those linked to the X chromosome, such as hemophilia and color blindness. This is because males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), so any recessive allele on the X chromosome will express the disease. In contrast, females have two X chromosomes (XX), which provides a protective effect; if one X carries a recessive disease allele, the other X can often compensate. Consequently, females may be carriers without exhibiting symptoms, while males are more likely to be affected.
There are two sex chromosomes ... X and Y. Females have two X genes (XX) and males have XY. Therefore, a male MUST pass his X chromosome to his daughter ... otherwise, he'd have a son instead.
Males and females have different sex chromosomes.
Since males are the only sex to have a y chromosome, only males can get genes that are linked to the Y chromosome. This means that some genetic diseases and conditions are more likely to be male such as color blindness.
The most commonly sex-linked conditions are hemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and color blindness. These conditions are typically linked to genes on the X chromosome, making them more prevalent in males, who have only one X chromosome, compared to females, who have two. As a result, if a male inherits a faulty gene on his X chromosome, he will express the condition, while females may be carriers without showing symptoms.
Y-linked genes are only passed from father to son because the Y chromosome is inherited exclusively in a paternal manner. Since females inherit an X chromosome from each parent, they do not receive a Y chromosome from their father.
male, their sex chromosomes are XY, females are always XX
Male cheetahs are generally larger than females.
In humans there is a higher incidence of male children who phenotypically diplay a sex-linked trait. The inheritence level in females is about equal to that of the males but, because they have two X chromosomes they carry it genotypically but not phenotypically.
females
It is an X-linked genetic disorder. Since males are XY and females are XX, it is a higher possibility that either parent is carrying the hemophilia allele which affects the X in either male / female or both.
