what is the difference between sex linked disorders and sex chromosomes disorders
Sex linked disorders and sex chromosomes disorders?
sex-linked disorders- genetic disorders caused by mutations in genes on the sex chromosomes (X and Y)
examples: hemophilia, color blindness, %26amp; different types of muscular dystrophy
sex chromosomes disorders- genetic diseases where a large part of the genetic code has been disrupted.
Chromosomes are long sequences of DNA that contain hundreds or thousands of genes. Every person has 2 copies of each of the 23 chromosomes, called chromosomes 1..22 and the 23rd is the sex chromosome, which is either X and Y. Men are XY and women are XX in the 23rd chromosome pair.
example: trisomy 21 (Down's Syndrome),
