A sex-linked carrier is:?

Question

a. homozygous dominant female
b. heterozygous female
c. homozygous recessive female
d. homozygous male
e. heterozygous male

Answer 1

B. a heterozygous female

Heterozygous means that she has both a dominant and recessive copy of the gene, so the recessive gene isn't expressed. Being a carrier means that she can have a daughter that is a carrier(or a daughter with the recessive gene expressed if the father has the recessive gene), a daughter that doesn't have the gene at all (if the father doesn't have the gene), or a son that may or may not have that recessive gene expressed(50% to 50%), depending onn of they get the dominant or recessive gene.

Answer 4

B.

since the person is a carrier it means that the trait is recessive and that person does not have the disease.

only females can be carriers because in sex cells the male Y is only half of a chromosome so it does not carry any of the sex-linked traits. whether or not you have a sex-linked disease is dependent on the x chromosome.

hope i helped
