A male inherits only one X sex chromosome, so whatever alleles are on that chromosome will be expressed. A female inherits two X sex chromosomes, so there is a possibility that she will inherit at least one dominant allele for a trait, in which case she will have the dominant trait.

Who does a male inherit an autosomal recessive disorder from?

A male can inherit an autosomal recessive disorder from both of his carrier parents, who each pass down a copy of the mutated gene. This results in the male having two copies of the mutated gene, leading to the manifestation of the disorder.


Which trait will a male exhibit if he carries a recessive allele on the X chromosome?

A male carrying a recessive allele on the X chromosome will exhibit the recessive trait. This is because the Y chromosome generally does not have matching genes for the X chromosome, unlike the other 22 pairs if chromosomes in the nucleus.


Under what condition is a single recessive allele expressed in a male?

A single recessive allele will be expressed in a male if he inherits that allele on his only X chromosome, as males have one X and one Y chromosome. This is because the presence of the recessive allele on the X chromosome has no dominant allele to mask its expression.

What is the probability that a male will inherit an X-linkedrecessive allele from his father?

There is no possibility that a male will inherit and X-linked recessive allele from his father because for a male child the father only contributes the Y chromosome to his son (of the XY pair he has). If the fater's X chromosome has a recessive allele then it is 100% certain that he will pas this on to all his daughters.
