उत्तर
A male has X and Y chromosomes. The X-linked genes do not have their alleles on Y chromosome. Therefore, for males to suffer from disease only one copy of a defective gene is sufficient. In the inheritance of X-linked genes, females may be carriers because they have two X chromosomes and may carry one normal and another defective gene. This is not possible in the case of males due to the presence of a single X chromosome.
