possession of a single X chromosome lessens the likelihood that a male will express a defective copy of the genes that cause this set of genetic disorders

possession of a single X chromosome increases the likelihood that a male will express a defective copy of the genes that cause this set of genetic disorders

genes found on the Y chromosome can protect males from defective genes found on the X chromosome and decreases male likelihood of expressing this set of genetic disorders
