Question

Write down the names of any two sex-linked diseases in humans.

Hint:

Hemophilia and color blindness are common X-linked disorders affecting males more than females.

Answer 1

Solution:

Two common sex-linked diseases in humans are:

• Hemophilia
• Color blindness

Sex-linked diseases are caused by mutations in genes located on sex chromosomes (X or Y). Since males have only one X chromosome, they are more frequently affected by X-linked disorders.
