The absence of sweat glands in humans is a recessive trait linked to the X chromosome. A man who has no sweat glands

The absence of sweat glands in humans is a recessive trait linked to the X chromosome. A man who has no sweat glands married a woman whose family has never had the disease. What is the likelihood of having children with a similar anomaly?

Let’s designate the gene for the absence of sweat glands as X (a), its healthy allele as X (A). Father’s genotype X (a) Y, mother’s genotype X (A) X (A).

R: X (A) X (A) x X (a) Y – parents;

G: X (A) x X (a), Y – possible gametes;

F: X (A) X (a) – 50% healthy girl;

X (A) Y – 50% healthy boy.

The probability of having a sick child is 0%.
