Question
which condition is more likely to be developed by men than women?
o cystic fibrosis
o color blindness
o breast cancer
o diabetes
Color blindness is an X - linked recessive disorder. Males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). If they inherit the defective X - linked gene for color blindness, they will be color - blind as they don't have a second X chromosome to mask the effect. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), so they need to inherit two copies of the defective gene to be color - blind, making it less likely for them compared to males. Cystic fibrosis affects both genders equally in terms of genetic predisposition. Breast cancer is more common in women. Diabetes can affect both genders and is not more prevalent in men in a significant way related to genetic or biological differences like color blindness.
