Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder that primarily affects males. In 3-5 sentences, summarize why this condition typically affects males more than females. (4 points) In simple terms
, hemophilia is caused by a faulty gene located on the X chromosome. Males only have one X chromosome, while females have two. Therefore, if a male inherits the faulty gene, he will develop the condition, whereas females need to inherit the gene on both X chromosomes to be affected. Additionally, females can be carriers of the gene without showing symptoms, while males do not have the extra X chromosome to compensate for the faulty gene.
