Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder that primarily affects males. In 3–5 sentences

Answer 1

Answer:

"I THINK IT IS HOPEFUL THAT IT IS HELPFUL"

Explanation:

s a recessive X-linked genetic disorder, the mutation that causes hemophilia is passed to offspring via the X chromosome. Hemophilia is more common among male children, as they only inherit one X chromosome, which means that they will develop symptoms of hemophilia if that chromosome carries the mutation.

Since males have only a single copy of any gene located on the X chromosome, they cannot offset damage to that gene with an additional copy as can females. Consequently, X-linked disorders such as Hemophilia A are far more common in males.

Hemophilia A and B are inherited in an X-linked recessive genetic pattern and are therefore much more common in males. This pattern of inheritance means that a given gene on the X chromosome expresses itself only when there is no normal gene present.

Answer 2

Haemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder that primarily affects males.

• Haemophilia is one of the sex-linked recessive Mendelian disorders which is a type of inherited bleeding disorder.
• Mostly, males are affected by this disorder and the chances of females inheriting this disorder are extremely rare.
• Males inherit X and Y chromosomes from their mother and father respectively. Through this, it can be inferred that males possess only one copy of most of the genes on the X chromosome. That is why males are mostly affected.
• While on the other hand, females have two copies that means mutation will be required in both copies to cause the disorder. Hence, in females, this disorder is rare because having two altered copies is unlikely.
• Usually, Haemophilia A affects most men.
