Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by mutations in genes responsible for blood clotting factors, particularly the factor VIII (Hemophilia A) or factor IX (Hemophilia B). These genes are located on the X chromosome, and since males have only one X chromosome, a single mutated copy results in the disease, while females have two X chromosomes, allowing a normal copy to compensate for the defective one, typically preventing the manifestation of the disorder.make this into 3 sentences

Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by mutations in genes responsible for blood clotting factors, specifically factor VIII (Hemophilia A) or factor IX (Hemophilia B). These genes are located on the X chromosome, which means that males, having only one X chromosome, are affected if they inherit a mutated copy. In contrast, females have two X chromosomes, allowing a normal copy to compensate for the defective one, usually preventing the disorder from manifesting.
