X-linked traits affect men more than women because men have only one X chromosome, while women have two. If a man inherits a recessive X-linked trait, he will express it since there is no second X chromosome to potentially mask the effect. In contrast, women can be carriers of the trait on one X chromosome without expressing it if the other X chromosome carries a normal allele. Consequently, X-linked disorders are more prevalent in men.

For natural selection to occur, there must be variation in traits within a population, as these variations can affect an organism's ability to survive and reproduce.

There must also be differential survival and reproduction, where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce than those without.
