Why Are Males More Susceptible to X Linked Disorders

Multiple Choice

Why are males more susceptible to X linked disorders?

A) Because males have an XX pairing of chromosomes; therefore, this increases their odds of a disorder.
B) Because males have an XY pairing of chromosomes and the Y chromosome is more likely to host a genetic disorder.
C) Because most genetic disorders are connected to the dominant gene and since men have an XY pairing a disorder is more likely to be expressed.
