Question

Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder that primarily affects males. Why does this condition typically affect males more than females?

Answer 1

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Hemophilia typically affects more males than females because the disorder is X-linked and recessive.

Females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males only have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The two X chromosomes in females are capable of carrying alleles while the Y chromosome in males is hypothesized not able to carry alleles.

Consequently, the two X chromosomes in females will both need to carry the recessive allele of hemophilia in order for any female to be affected for hemophilia while the males only need their single X chromosome to carry the recessive allele in order to be affected.

In order words, the presence of a single recessive allele is not enough for a female to be affected while it is more than enough for a male to be affected. Hence, more males are affected b hemophilia disorder than females.
