Reference no: EM13160924

A genetic disorder is sex-linked and is caused by a recessiveallele (e). The allele for the unaffected condition (E) isdominant. A woman who is a carrier of this disorder marries anunaffected man. The couple would like to have a child, but they areconcerned that their child will inherit the disorder. Using this example,

B. Identify the probability that the child will inherit the disorder
C. Identify the probability that the child will not inheritthe recessive allele(e)
