Question

additional details were added for this assignment.
which outcome could be expected in a family that carries an x - linked recessive trait?
○ more females than males express the trait.
○ more males than females express the trait.
○ an equal number of males and females express the trait.

Explanation:

In X - linked recessive inheritance, males have only one X chromosome. If they inherit the recessive allele on the X chromosome, they will express the trait. Females have two X chromosomes. They need to inherit two recessive alleles (one from each parent) to express the trait. Since it is less likely for females to get two recessive alleles compared to males getting one, more males than females express the X - linked recessive trait.

Answer:

More males than females express the trait.
