True or False: If a male has an X-linked dominant genetic condition, all of his daughters will have the condition.
True. If a male has an X-linked dominant genetic condition, all of his daughters will have the condition.
The X chromosome in daughters is from the male parent and the other X is from the mother, since they have XX there is no chance that they may escape an X-linked dominant condition. Unlike daughters, sons tend to inherit their X from mother and Y from father. So sons won’t get affected here.
Thus there will be no transmission to sons and 100% transmission to daughters.
