By definition, Y-linked diseases cannot pass to a daughter. X-linked diseases can, but many of them are mitigated or eliminated if the X from the mother does not possess the defect, in which case your daughter would be a carrier, and her sons would have a 50/50 chance of inheriting the disease.

Disease can only be found in boys because the conditions of having a diseas is that either its xY or Yx and hence girl only has X chromoses of both parents so she cant have any disease.

Therefore the probability is "zero"

A man has six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot His wife and their daughter have the normal number of digits What fraction of this couple's children would be expected to have extra digits?

If the trait is autosomal recessive the odds that he'll have children with six digits would be zero unless his wife was heterzygous for the trait. Then, the odds would be a 50% chance that the trait would occur in each of their offspring.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Because the daughter is normal the man's genotype must be heterozygous for the trait so: if X = extra digits and x = normal (5) digits then:50% of the offspring will be polydactylic

What is the probability that a paternity test will be correct?

As part of a paternity test it includes a probability value to determine the probability that the man in question is biological father or not. If the probability value is 99.99% and the mother, child and man in question have all been tested then the man is the father. If it is less than that then the man is not the father. It is impossible to get a probability value of 100% unless every man in the world were tested. As it stands a paternity test is as accurate as its probability value. Therefore a paternity test with a probability value of 99.99% has a 99.99% chance of being correct. A paternity test is very accurate and does a great job of showing a childs genetic parents. The test is 99.9% accurate.

Can a green eyed man and brown eyed woman have a green eyed daughter?

Yes. Blue eyes are a recessive genetic trait, which means that a brown- or green-eyed person can still carry a gene for blue eyes. In this case, the blue-eyed gene is recessive, or subordinate, to the green- or brown-eyed gene. To be blue-eyed, an individual must have a recessive blue-eyed gene from both its mother and father.
