Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In X-linked recessive inheritance, more males are typically affected than females because males have only one X chromosome. Therefore, a single copy of the recessive allele on the X chromosome will result in the expression of the trait in males. The descriptions provided do not match any of the inheritance patterns listed, as none specifically result in more females than males being affected.
