Recessive allele disorders are just as they sound - they are disorders that are a result of a prevalent recessive allele in one's genetic makeup. A recessive allele disorder will rarely occur since it is dependent on the crossing of two heterozygous parent cells, but it can lead to interesting consequences. An example of a recessive allele disorder is hemophilia - the body's inability to clot blood - and it has affected much of the European royalty in history, such as Queen Victoria of Great Britain.

What is the probability a woman heterozygous for an x-linked trait will have a son with a genetic disorder if the genetic disorder is recessive?

The probability would be 0.5 or 50%. A heterozygous woman will pass on the X chromosome with the recessive allele to 50% of her sons, and since the disorder is recessive, the son would only have the disorder if the X chromosome with the recessive allele is inherited from the mother.


Under what condition can a female acquire an X recessive disorder?

Both X chromosomes must carry the recessive trait. Since males only have one X chromosome, it is much easier for males to have the recessive phenotype. Put another way, a female would have to receive an X chromosome with the recessive gene from both parents, which would mean the father already displays the recessive disorder.
