Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive disorder, meaning it is carried on the X chromosome. Males (XY) who inherit the defective gene from their mothers will express the disease because they have only one X chromosome. Females (XX) can be carriers if they inherit one defective gene, but they typically do not express the disease unless they inherit two defective genes (one from each parent). A male cannot inherit the gene directly from his father because males inherit their Y chromosome from their father, not an X chromosome. Therefore, the correct scenario is that the patient's mother was a carrier of the defective gene, and the father did not carry the defective gene.
