To explain the differences in the inheritance patterns of hemophilia and thalassemia, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Disorders - **Hemophilia**: This is a genetic disorder characterized by the inability of blood to clot properly, leading to excessive bleeding. It is primarily caused by a deficiency in clotting factors. - **Thalassemia**: This is a blood disorder involving less than normal amounts of an oxygen-carrying protein called hemoglobin, which can lead to anemia. ### Step 2: Identify the Type of Inheritance - **Hemophilia**: It is classified as an X-linked recessive disorder. This means the gene responsible for hemophilia is located on the X chromosome. Males (XY) are more frequently affected because they have only one X chromosome. Females (XX) need to inherit two copies of the mutated gene to express the disorder. ...
