The female can only pass on ONE "X". an XX female offspring must get the second X from the father.
The female parent contributes an X chromosome to its offspring. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX), so they can only pass on an X chromosome. If the offspring receives an X chromosome from the male parent (who can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome), the offspring will be female (XX); if the offspring receives a Y chromosome from the male, it will be male (XY).
When a parent is going to have an offspring the offspring only gets half a chromosome from each parent, they combine to make one chromosome then that chromosome gets copied until there are 23 pairs of chromosome's. This is how you get your features.
== One is that their chromosomes are XX and men are Xy. The Y cannot carry any genetic traits. So if you have D== normal and d=disease and the mom would be Dd, and the dad would be dd, then you write it as... mom = XDXd and dad = Xdy. And the y carried down in the punnet square would mean its a boy, but it would have disease because it only has the little d. If that makes any sense... ==
No. If it is a mother, that infers that the organism is female. The feature that determines gender is the 23rd set of chromosomes. A female can only result if the pair is XX (XY results in a male). Therefore, a mother cannot pass on a Y chromosome to her child. If you are wondering whether by cause of a genetic mutation the mother happens to have a Y chromosome, then she would not be a mother, as she would be infertile.
A female has the sex chromosomes XX. Therefore they will always pass an X chromosome on to their children.
The female parent contributes an X chromosome to its offspring. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX), so they can only pass on an X chromosome. If the offspring receives an X chromosome from the male parent (who can contribute either an X or a Y chromosome), the offspring will be female (XX); if the offspring receives a Y chromosome from the male, it will be male (XY).
It is on the X Chromosome (male have XY chromosome Females have XX Chromosome)
Men pass their X chromosomes to their daughters. Men have both X and Y chromosomes. If they were to give their offspring an Y chromosome, it would have to be a male. If they gave their offsping an X chromosome it would have to be female. XX is female, XY is male.

Chromosomes determine the traits of something, and pass it from parent cell to offspring.

The sex chromosomes determine the sex of an organism. In humans, it is the 23 pair. Females pass on either or their X chromosomes, while males pass on either their X or their Y. If the male passes on their X chromosome, the resulting offspring is female. If they pass on their Y chromosome, the resulting offspring is male.

Fathers pass the Y sex chromosome to their sons, NOT the X sex chromosome.
A female has the sex chromosomes XX. Therefore they will always pass an X chromosome on to their children.
Humans only pass traits, sex-linked or not, to their offspring. There is no way to pass a trait to anyone except offspring unless through gene implant.
Yes, xHxH can represent a female carrier of hemophilia, where "H" denotes the hemophilia allele and "x" denotes the normal allele. In this case, the individual has one normal allele and one allele for hemophilia. However, a female carrier typically does not exhibit symptoms of hemophilia but can pass the allele to her offspring. Males with the genotype "xHy" (where "y" is the male chromosome) would express the condition due to having only one X chromosome.
