Which type of genetic disease affects males more Sex-Linked recessive. Since males only have one X and one Y, if the affected
frequently than females? chromosome has the illness, it will be expressed.
In which two conditions are chromosomal Intellectual disability and fetal miscarriage. Chromosome abnormalities are
abnormalities the leading known cause? the leading known cause of intellectual disability and fetal miscarriage.
What are three examples of prenatal diagnostic Chorionic villus sampling (CVS), amniocentesis, and preimplantation genetic
studies? testing (PGT) are examples of prenatal diagnostic studies and are performed
in vitro. CVS is a form of genetic testing that provides genetic information
found in utero and is usually performed between weeks 11 and 14 of
pregnancy. An amniocentesis is a form of genetic testing that evaluates
amniotic fluid and is usually performed during the second trimester,
between weeks 15 and 20 of pregnancy. PGT is performed on the embryo
prior to implantation.

not show signs of the disease because she has the other X (the only X the
father can give to a female) to cancel it out.

test. Repeat testing may be needed to rule out a false negative test due to
testing too soon after exposure, especially if a high likelihood of exposure is
