The statement which is not true is C) They can affect males or females

Explanation:

All the chromosomes in a person are known to be autosomal chromosomes except for the sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes are of two types: Chromosome X and chromosome Y.

Both the sex chromosomes are X in females. Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is shorter than the X chromosome. The Y chromosomes occur only in males. Hence, Y - linked disorders will affect only males. These disorders will never occur in females.
