Answer 1

A female carrier for an X-linked recessive disorder has the allele combination X'X'.

Step-by-step explanation:

An X-linked recessive disorder is carried on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, so they can be either carriers or affected by the disorder. The allele combination that represents a female who is a carrier for an X-linked recessive disorder is X'X', where 'X' represents the normal allele and 'X'' represents the recessive allele.
