Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Muscular dystrophy is a sex-linked disorder caused by a gene on the X chromosome. It primarily affects males, who have only one X chromosome, while females may have a second X chromosome with a healthy copy of the gene that can compensate for the defective one. Myasthenia gravis, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease are not sex-linked disorders.
