In humans, hemophilia A is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait. If a man and a woman produce a daughter who is afflicted with this disorder, which of the following must be true? Assume that one parent is afflicted and one is healthy. Select all that apply. _____________________ The mother is a carrier of hemophilia. The father is also afflicted with hemophilia. The daughter inherited a recessive gene from each parent. If the girl has children, 100% of her daughters will also be afflicted. The mother must be heterozygous. The daughter inherited a dominant allele from her mother.

Step 1
Since males only have one X chromosome, they are more likely to be affected by the disorder if they inherit the recessive gene from their mother. Females, on the other hand, have two X chromosomes, so they can be carriers of the disorder if they inherit one Show more…
