Why are males more prone to having x-linked recessive disorders? a. Because the y chromosome is smaller than the x chromosome. b. Because the y chromosome is weaker than the X chromosome c. Because there is a chromosome that will inhibit the eexpression of the defective gene. d. Because there is no other chromosome that will mask the other defective chromosome
