Why are X-linked recessive genetic disorders more commonly seen in males?

a. For an X-linked disorder to occur, an individual must receive one allele only found on the X chromosome and a second allele found only on the Y chromosome, which females do not have. b. Females must receive two copies of the recessive allele to exhibit the disorder, but males need only one copy. c. The alleles of sex-linked genes are carried only on the Y chromosome, which females do not have. d. Females only have X chromosomes and genes on the X chromosome are not expressed.
