Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A carrier female who carries the X-linked recessive gene for hemophilia always passes the gene to her sons as they inherit the X chromosome from their mother. Her daughters receive one X chromosome from the mother and the other X chromosome from the father. So, there is a 50% chance that the daughter will be a carrier of the gene.
