Understanding Sex Chromosomes and Their Role in Linked Disorders

Sex chromosomes are a pair of chromosomes responsible for determining an individual’s sex, with females having XX and males having XY. Certain genetic disorders, known as sex-linked disorders, can be carried on these chromosomes, often affecting males more due to the recessive nature of the genes involved. For example, color blindness is a common condition associated with the X chromosome. This highlights the interaction between genetics and gender, illustrating how sex chromosomes influence not only physical traits but also the incidence of specific disorders.
