Hemophilia is located on the X chromosome, and is a recessive disease. Males only have one X chromosome, while females have two. Males are more likely to have this disease because if the disease is given to them they don't have another X chromosome to cancel out the disease. Whereas females have two X chromosomes, so they can get the disease from one parent, but get the normal trait, which is dominant to cancel out the hemophilia disease.
