Answer:

The X- chromosome

Step-by-step explanation:

The x chromosome because men only have one allele making them more susceptible :

ex: "If women have a problem on one X chromosome, there is a 2nd copy to help with problems (extremely simplistic view); whereas in men, if the X is problematic, then they will have a very high disease chance."
