Hello Student

Haemophilia is a sexually transmitted X linked disorder. It requires that female have both X allele are infected. Human males have X and Y chrosomes and Femals have both X chrosomes, so a female required both X chrosome have mutant affected gene which are rarely possible and males that’s have one X chromosome so are easily affected.
