Ok first of all, commenter below me, lol I applaud you

To answer your question:
Females have two X chromosomes, while males have an X AND Y. I took Bio last semester but I’m almost positive that sex linked disorders are linked to the X chromosome.
Females have two X chromosomes, as I said before. If one X is defected with coding for the disorder, the other X takes the lead and covers for the disorder-coding X. That’s why women are less affected, because if one X is messed up they have that extra X (or should I say Xtra X lol wow puns sorry) to cover up. So in women, diseases can be masked.
In males, however, they rarely can. If we already said that sex linked disorders are related to the X chromosome, what can we infer about men, who only have one X? They lack that second X to cover up. So if one X, their only X, is defected, there is no other cover up. The Y is a totally different chromosome that doesn’t even relate to the disorder. Thus, men are especially vulnerable to disorders that run in families, while females are more protected by that extra X. And for the previous commenter, I think women win this one...

answer:

the water molecules are transferred from the roots to the stem or top parts of the tall tree because of important properties of water which are adhesion, cohesion and capillary action. cohesion is the property of water molecules keeps water molecules in a combined state by sharing of bonds between them at the atomic level. adhesion allows the interaction of water molecules with other substances or substrate. adhesion will cause the attachment of water molecules to the wall of the vessel (xylem) of the plant. capillary action occurs when the adhesive force to the vessel wall is stronger than the cohesive force between water molecules. capillary action mimics the transfer of water from a tube or pipe. in this way water utilizes its property to transfer water from down to top level of the plant.
