To determine the chances that her daughters will be carriers, we need to consider the inheritance pattern of the gene in question. If the trait is autosomal recessive, carrier mothers pass on one copy of the gene to each daughter, giving her a 50% chance of being a carrier. If the trait is X-linked, the probability will depend on the mother's genotype and whether the father is affected or a carrier. Without specific genetic information, it's difficult to provide a precise percentage.

Are some boys carriers for hemophilia?

A male with hemophilia does in fact carry the genes and can pass them on to his daughters, so yes, some boys (if they have hemophilia) are carriers.

What are the chances of your baby when your husband is hemophiliac and you are clear?

Your sons should be safe unless they get a spontaneous mutation causing hemophilia. (this is extremely rare and almost negligible, however can happen) Your daughters however will definitely be carriers and may have low factor levels as well (typically not as severe as the father). Any grandsons produced by your daughters would have a 50% chance of being hemophiliacs as well.


How is Fragile X Syndrome Inherited?

Males and females can be carriers, male carriers can only pass on to their daughters, they will be carriers as well have a premutation. Females can pass on to their sons or daughters, they will have the premutation or the full mutation.


What are the chances of getting muscular dystrophy from you r parents?

The chances of inheriting muscular dystrophy from your parents largely depend on the specific type of muscular dystrophy and the inheritance pattern associated with it. For instance, Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies are X-linked recessive disorders, meaning that mostly males are affected and females can be carriers. If a mother is a carrier, there is a 50% chance of passing the gene to her sons, who would be affected, and a 50% chance for daughters to be carriers. Other types may follow different inheritance patterns, so genetic counseling is often recommended for families with a history of the condition.


When you join the navy how do you get put on the aircraft carriers?

Pick a job that is associated with aircraft would improve your chances of being on a carrier.


Can males be carriers of sexlinked traits?

No. Carriers are people that carry the gene for something but exhibit no phenotype for it. Since males have no extra copy to hide a recessive trait, they cannot be carriers for sex linked traits.Answ2. Followers of this question should consult say haemophilia in wikipedia.com.


What are the chances of someone with Fragile X Syndrome passing it on to someone else?

Males who are carriers will pass on the gene to all of their daughters, they will be FX carriers. Females who have the premutation (50-200 CGG repeats) or full-mutation (over 200 CGG repeats) have a 50/50 chance of passing it on with each pregnancy. Now just because they pass it on doesn't mean the child will be affected (especially when it comes to girls, since girls have 2 X chromosomes, the other X may produce enough protein.)


What carriers that are related to biology?

carriers are a parent carrying the particular recessive gene for a disease but is not affected by that disease. However, its offspring will have that gene as dominant increasing its chances of being affected by that disease if the parent mates with another parent of the opposite gender who is also a carrier.


What are the chances that a family with three children will have three daughters?

What are the chances of a person with hemophilia to pass the disease to their offspring?

Hemophilia is passed down from mother to son. It is extremely rare for a woman to have hemophilia. It is necessary, though, for a woman to be a carrier of the disorder for her son to acquire this disorder. Females have two X chromosomes whereas males only have one. When a boy is born, he takes one X chromosome from his mother and one Y chromosome from his father. Therefore, he can only get hemophilia through his mother. Example One: Mother(Carrier)+Father(Non-Affected)=50% chance of their son acquiring the disorder and 50% chance of their daughter being a carrier. Example Two: Mother(Non-Affected)+Father(Hemophiliac)=All sons will be non-affected and all daughters will be carriers.


What chances does an offspring have of getting Gaucher Disease?

It depends on whether your parents are carriers or not. If they are NN (or normal normal) and they have sex with someone who is Nn (or normal gauchers) than using a punnet square the chances of them becoming a carrier are 50 50. If your parents are both carriers ie. Nn Nn then the chances of them becoming a carrier are 50% and them having the disease is 25%. If your parents are nn Nn then the chances of them becoming a carrier is 50% and the chances of them having the disease is 50% so they will either be a carrier or have the disease either way. If your parents are nn NN then there is a 100% chance of them being a carrier. You can figure this out by looking at your family tree and seeing who had the disease before you in your family. This is only very basic Mendelian genetics so i would consult a doctor for a more legitimate answer.
