Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If a woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a man with the disorder, all their male children will inherit the disorder as the father passes the affected X chromosome to all his sons. However, their female children will inherit one X chromosome from each parent and will have a 50% chance of being a carrier like the mother or being affected with the disorder if they inherit only the affected X chromosome from their father. Therefore, option C is not true as not all male children would be hemophiliac.
