Female transmit 23 chromosomes to the offspring. She has that unique chromosome called as X chromosome. This is transmitted to the offspring. From male you get either X or Y chromosome. From XX chromosome you get female child. From XY chromosome you get male child.

What kind of charomosome do females transmit to offspring?

Females transmit an X chromosome to their offspring, as they carry two X chromosomes (XX). Males contribute either an X or a Y chromosome, determining the sex of the offspring (XX for female, XY for male).

What kind of chromosomes do male transmit to offspring?

Males transmit one set of sex chromosomes to their offspring. This includes either an X or a Y chromosome, which determines the sex of the child. Females always contribute an X chromosome.


Is the x chromozone a female one or male one?

The X chromosome belongs to both males and females. However, females have two of the same kind of sex chromosome(XX), and are called the homogametic sex. Males have two distinct sex chromosomes (XY), and are called the hetrogametic sex.


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 kind of defect is CGD?

recessive defect meaning that both copies of the chromosome must have the defect before it can be expressed. Females who have one X chromosome without the defect do not get this disease. Males, since they only have one X chromosome, get the disease


What kind of disease is CGD?

CGD is an X-linked genetic disease, meaning the defective gene is carried on the X chromosome (one of the sex chromosomes). Females have two copies of the X chromosome, whereas males have one X and one Y.

The mutation must be present in the Reproductive cell, Ovum/Egg in females (present in the Ovary) and Sperm in males.

A dominant x linked trait would be more common in males or females?

If the trait is recessive and on the male chromosome (Y), then it is impossible for females to get it since they do not possess a Y chromosome. If you meant a recessive sex-linked trait on the X chromosome (like male pattern baldness), then males are still more likely to get it since they only receive one X chromosome and if it is affected they would automatically have the trait (whereas females have 2 copies and would only have the trait if both parents passed on chromosomes containing the recessive allele.) Females can be carriers, though. If they are a carrier (have one affected X chromosome) for the trait then their male children would have a 50% chance of inheriting the trait and their female children would have a 50% chance of becoming carriers.
