    Human males much more likely than human females to inherit the recessive condition hemophilia because it follows X-linked recessive pattern.

    Explanation:

    Actually hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder i-e the defective genes are located on the X chromosome (sex chromosome) and are transmitted through it. As males have only one X chromosome (inherited from mother), one altered copy of the gene in every cell cause this disease. On the other hand females have 2 X chromosomes thus this disease is rare in females.
