if a woman has x linked condition on of her x chromosome. this chromosome can be inherited by
Answers
The X chromosome has many genes that are important for growth and development. The Y chromosome is much smaller and has fewer genes. Females have two X chromosomes (XX) and therefore if one of the genes on an X chromosome has a change, the normal gene on the other X chromosome can compensate for the changed copy. If this happens the female is usually a healthy carrier of the X linked condition. Being a carrier means that you do not have the condition, but carry a changed copy of the gene. In some cases, females show mild signs of the condition.
Males have only one X chromosome, if they have a gene alteration on their X chromosome they will develop the condition. ... This means that sons will not inherit an X-linked recessive condition from their father.
