Why can a female be a carrier of a sex linked genetic disorder?
When a female is heterozygous i.e. she possess one allele of disease , she is called carrier .
A female who is a carrier of Fabry's disease has what chance of having a daughter who is a carrier?
The mother has a 50% chance of passing the defective recessive gene to her daughters who will be carries of the disorder (like their mother).
What is a carrier?
it is a type of network you have on your cell or phone. such as t-mobile or Verizon wireless hope this helps!!! :P :D :) the meaning of carrier is basically that u have a hard working job and getting paid well to fulfill/complete your tertiary education(if u ask me?!!!!!).
What is a X linked carrier homozygous?
An X linked carrier is one who carries a mutation in a gene found on the X sex chromosome. A carrier of the trait doesn't display phenotypic symptoms of the disease or mutation but can transfer the mutation in that gene to their offspring (ex: the carrier of a premutation that when transferred to the offspring via the X chromosome will cause the full mutation associated with that gene). A person could be a homozygous carrier if for instance, she were female (two X chromosomes) and carried the premutation associated with the disease. Some diseases need both alleles of the gene to be mutated. If only one allele is mutated (heterozygote) that person may be a carrier for that mutation and can thus pass on that mutation to their children.
What disease do have if you were bitten by an anopheles mosquito?
It causes a disease called malaria,i think!!!malariaThe anopheles mosquito's carries the disease of yellow feverMalariamalaria - assuming it was an infected carrier
Why are sex-linked diseases more likely to affect sons of female carriers?
The son would automatically get the Y chromosome from the father. The son's X chromosome has to come from his mother. Females are XX, so he has a fifty-fifty chance of receiving the disease carrying gene. If he receives the disease carrying gene he will have the disease, if he doesn't then he will neither have the disease nor be a carrier. A daughter has to receive one X chromosome from her father and one from her mother. If the father doesn't have the disease, then the daughter cannot have it. If the mother is a carrier, then she has a fifty-fifty chance of being a carrier.

Can Females get Duchenne's muscular dystrophy?
Yes, there have been documented cases of females getting DMD but it is very rare since the father that affected by the disease must procreate with a female carrier of the disease and create a daughter of course.
