It is inaccurate to say that one gender is inherently more prone to all genetic disorders. While some disorders are more prevalent in one gender due to their inheritance patterns, others can affect both genders equally.
For example, X-linked recessive disorders, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy and hemophilia, are more common in males because they only have one X chromosome. If a male inherits a faulty gene on his X chromosome, he will develop the disorder, whereas females have two X chromosomes and can carry the faulty gene without displaying symptoms.
On the other hand, autosomal recessive disorders, like cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia, affect both genders equally, as they are caused by mutations on non-sex chromosomes.
Therefore, the likelihood of developing a genetic disorder is determined by individual factors, including specific genes inherited from parents, environmental influences, and lifestyle choices, rather than gender alone.
