This condition arises from a recessive mutation on the X chromosome. Males are affected because they possess only one X chromosome, making them express traits linked to it.

1. Cretinism
2. Cystic fibrosis
3. Haemophilia
4. Thalassemia

Correct answer: Haemophilia

Solution

Haemophilia is classically inherited as an X-linked recessive trait, so males with one mutated X chromosome express the disorder. The other options are not X-linked recessive conditions.
