Both haemophilia and colour blindness are se-linked recessive but chances for haemophilia to occur are less as compared to that for colour-blindness.why?

Not according to darwinThey all aren't expected to have to same occurence. Different diseases are attributed to different genes arranged differently on chromosomes so they will not have the same occurence.
@ ekienheinfinish what??
lol...i guess making a punnet square could simplify things.
im just trying to get to the point where i can "think about it" and then magically come up with the answer...kinda like using nifty shortcuts in math i guess.
okay here is another one:
a man has a sex linked disease.
a female also has it.
what (if anything) can you imply about its dominance/recessiveness?
which chromosome is it on?
if they mated and had offspring, what percentage of boys would inherit the disease? what percentage of girls would inherit the disease?

The female could be a carrier for a dominant disease and express it or she could be homozygous recessive and express it if the disease was recessive. Without knowing her genotype, I don't think you could determine % risk of offspring getting the disease. I think the only way to know for sure is if you had an actual pedigree.
Yes, it causes a large protrusion from the scrotum.anyways, is there such a thing as a Y-linked disease?
This might help you.lol...i guess making a punnet square could simplify things.

lets say a man has a dominant sex-linked disease on the X chromosome.
he mates with a female with no gene of said disease.
the probability of any of their children having the disease are 50% ...right?
and the probability of a boy having the disease is 0%
the probability of a girl having the disease having the disease is 100%
does that follow the rules of mendel?
Be careful. Everyone has the same gene, its Alleles that are dominate or recessive, My Genetics prof asked tricky questions like that. So its more correct to day he has the dominate allele and she has recessive.
Nice catch, didn't even notice that.
