Question

why are the effects of recessive sex-linked alleles seen more often in males than in females?

Answer 1

male sex chromosome is XY and female is XX.

basically Y has less genetic info in it because Y is small compared to X, so most genetic info are in X.

male has one X chromosome and this only X chromosome is going to determine if he get the recessive traits or not. The genotype is either XY or xY. So 50% chance boys are unhealthy.

female has 2 X chromosome. Her genotype can be XX, Xx or xx. So 1/3 chance girls arre unhealthy.

Correct me if i'm wrong.
