This is because females have another X chromosome to fall back on if there is a genetic problem with the other.

The answer is X-linked recessiveinheritance because Y-linked and Z-linkes inheritance does not exist. Moreover, the disease that caused by X-linked recessive inheritance did happened to females but rare.

X-linked inheritance means that the gene causing the trait or the disorder is located on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes; males have one X and one Y. Genes on the X chromosome can be recessive or dominant. Their expression in females and males is not the same. Genes on the Y chromosome do not exactly pair up with the genes on the X chromosome. X-linked recessive genes are expressed in females only if there are two copies of the gene expressed it. If only one X is involve, the female will be the carrier. However, for males, there needs to be onlyone copy of an X-linked recessive gene in order for the trait or disorder to be expressed.
