The child would inherit one set of chromosomes from each parent. Since the male is homozygous for the normal gene order, he will pass on a normal chromosome set. The female, being homozygous for the inversion mutation, will pass on chromosomes that carry the inversion. As a result, the child will have one set of normal chromosomes and one set with the inversion mutation, leading to a genotype that is heterozygous for the inversion.

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.


Why are male mutation rates higher than female?

This is because mutations occur in x chromosomes. The male, who has "xy" sex chromosomes, will have the mutation if it is present in the x chromosome. Females, there is a smaller chance because there are two "xx" chromosomes, which reduces the chance that the mutation will be present.


What is the difference between a homozygous and a heterozygous organism?

homozygous organism is one which possess same genes on their chromosome pair for instance C which represent colour blindness it will be present on both the x chromosomes of a female.


What is a carrier for hemophilia?

A carrier for hemophilia is a female who carries the genetic mutation for hemophilia on one of her X chromosomes, but does not exhibit symptoms of the condition herself. Carriers can pass on the gene mutation to their children, resulting in hemophilia in male offspring. Testing can confirm carrier status.


Which type of mutation can lead to the loss of gene chromosome?

The term is monosomy, in which one chromosome of a pair is missing. Turner's Syndrome is an example of monosomy, in which there is only one sex chromosome, which is the X chromosome. Humans with Turner's Syndrome are female, but sterile. The genotype of the sex chromosomes in Turner's Syndrome is XO, in which O represents a missing chromosome.


What chromosomes would you expect to find in a female?

you will only find X chromosomes in a female, but in a male you will find X and Y.
