Use this scenario to answer the questions below:
In the 1700's, a young boy suffered from an unusual skin disorder that included skin thickening and the formation of loose spines that periodically sloughed off. Known as the "porcupine
man", he later had six male children who were all afflicted with "porcupine skin". Although he had several daughters, none of them were affected.
Based on this scenario and assuming that these "porcupine sons" do have children, how likely is it that their children will have this same disorder?
There is a high probability that their children, regardless of sex, will have this disorder.
There is a low probability that their children, regardless of sex, will have this disorder.
There is a high probability that only their sons will have this disorder.
There is a high probability that only their daughters will have this disorder.
There is a high probability that their sons will be carriers that do not have this disorder.
