It is carried on the Y chromosome, and females do not have that
It is carried on the Y chromosome, and females do not have that
It is carried on the X chromosome, and since males have two X's they have twice the chance of getting it whereas females only have one X and are half as likely to receive it
It is carried on the X chromosome, and since males have two X's they have twice the chance of getting it whereas females only have one X and are half as likely to receive it
It is carried on the X chromosome, and since it is recessive, females have two chances to receive a dominant allele and males only have one chance
It is carried on the X chromosome, and since it is recessive, females have two chances to receive a dominant allele and males only have one chance
It is carried on the Y chromosome, and since it is recessive, males stand a higher chance of receiving two copies of the recessive gene since they have two Y chromosomes and females only have one
The correct response is:
It is carried on the X chromosome, and since males have one X and females have two X's, males have a higher chance of receiving the recessive allele.
