What are the odds of offspring having a sex linked disorder if mother is carrier?
The odds depend on the specific sex-linked disorder. For carrier mothers of an X-linked recessive disorder, there is a 50% chance of passing the affected gene to a son (who would be affected) and a 50% chance of passing the gene to a daughter (who would be a carrier). For X-linked dominant disorders, there is a 50% chance of passing the gene to both sons and daughters.
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your?
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your genotype.
What kind of gene pair is found in the female carrier of a sex linked disorder?
In the female carrier of a sex-linked disorder, there would typically be one normal allele and one mutated allele for the gene associated with the disorder on the X chromosome. This is because females have two X chromosomes, and one copy of the X chromosome with the mutated allele can be masked by the normal allele on the other X chromosome.
What is a genetic carrier?
A carrier is a person who carries a gene(most-likely for a genetic disorder) but do not have the trait controlled by the gene.
Queen Victoria and some of her descendants carried an x-linked gene for?
Queen Victoria and some of her descendants carried an X-linked gene for hemophilia, a genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to control blood clotting. Hemophilia is passed from a carrier mother to her sons, who have a 50% chance of inheriting the gene. Queen Victoria's descendants spread the mutation across European royal families.
What are the odds of offspring having a sex linked disorder if mother is carrier?

For carrier mothers of an X-linked recessive disorder, there is a 50% chance of passing the affected gene to a son (who would be affected) and a 50% chance of passing the gene to a daughter (who would be a carrier). For X-linked dominant disorders, there is a 50% chance of passing the gene to both sons and daughters.
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.
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your?
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your genotype.
Similarities between gene and chromosomal mutation?
The answers is simple read it in a book
What health problems would i have if i carried the cystic fibrosis gene?
A carrier is someone who has a gene, but does not express that gene. It's like someone holding a book but is not capable of reading it. The carrier has no symptoms of the disease. The carrier can have a child with cystic fibrosis if the other parent is also a carrier of that gene.
What kind of gene pair is found in the female carrier of a sex linked disorder?
In the female carrier of a sex-linked disorder, there would typically be one normal allele and one mutated allele for the gene associated with the disorder on the X chromosome. This is because females have two X chromosomes, and one copy of the X chromosome with the mutated allele can be masked by the normal allele on the other X chromosome.
Could males be a carrier of a specific gene and not show traits?
Yes. It is possible for a male to carry a gene and not show it. However, it would have to be a recessive gene, therefore the trait would not show physically. Though, if it is a sex-linked gene, they would either show the trait or not. They cannot be carriers and not show it.
What is a genetic carrier?
A carrier is a person who carries a gene(most-likely for a genetic disorder) but do not have the trait controlled by the gene.
What part of speech is sex-linked gene?
Sex-linked is an adjective describing the noun gene.
Is having an autosomal sex-linked gene possible?
No, a gene is either autosomal or sex-linked, but never both.
Is the gene for blood clotting an X-linked gene?
YES
What is the hairy gene from the y-linked gene?
hair in the ears
