Question

What is the cause of haemophilia and colour blindness?

Open in App
Solution

Haemophilia and colour-blindness are sex-linked recessive disorders. Females act as carriers of these diseases but rarely suffer from them. This is because, for a female to become affected, the mother should be a carrier and the father should be affected by the diseases.
