None of the given options is completely correct. The correct answer is: b. All are caused by genetic mutations on the X chromosome. Colorblindness, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and impaired blood clotting are all caused by mutations on genes that are located on the X chromosome. Since males only have one X chromosome, they are more likely to be affected by X-linked disorders than females, who have two X chromosomes and can potentially have a normal gene on one X chromosome that can compensate for a mutated gene on the other X chromosome. Therefore, option a is partially correct. Option c is incorrect because the prevalence of each disorder varies, and 8 percent is not an

So for the first picture, the symptom of Colorblindness is trouble seeing colors and the brightness of colors in the usual way.

Yes, you are correct. Colorblindness is a genetic disorder that affects the ability to distinguish colors, while hemophilia is a genetic disorder that affects the ability of blood to clot. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder that primarily affects muscle tissue and leads to progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle mass. The symptoms you listed are common in individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
