Question

In the case of an X-linked recessive disorder, a carrier mother and unaffected father could produce: Option 1: An affected female Option 2: All options are incorrect Option 3: A male carrier Option 4: A normal female

Answer 1

In the case of an X-linked recessive disorder, a carrier mother and unaffected father could produce a normal female.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case of an X-linked recessive disorder, a carrier mother and unaffected father could produce a normal female.

An X-linked recessive disorder is a genetic condition that is carried on the X chromosome. Carrier mothers have one copy of the affected gene on one of their X chromosomes but do not have the disorder themselves. When a carrier mother and an unaffected father have a child, there is a 50% chance that the child will be a carrier like the mother and a 50% chance that the child will not carry the gene and will be unaffected. The child has a normal female phenotype because the mother's unaffected X chromosome is passed on to her.
