Can a female have an X-linked disorder?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Females can have X-linked disorders, but since they have two X chromosomes, they are less likely to have the disorder than males. In females, the disorder is usually recessive and requires two copies (one from each parent) to be expressed. This means that females can be carriers of X-linked disorders and pass them on to their children. However, if a female has one X chromosome with a functioning gene, she may not show symptoms of the disorder.
