Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemophilia is a sex-linked disorder that is carried on the X chromosome. Because males only have one X chromosome, if they inherit the hemophilia gene, they will develop the disorder. Females who inherit the gene are carriers and can pass it on to their offspring. Cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease, Tay-Sachs disease, and hypercholesterolemia are not sex-linked disorders.
