A diseased man marries a normal woman. They get three daughter and five sons. All the daughter were diseased and sons were normal.The gene of this disease is
- Sex linked dominant
- Sex linked recessive
- Sex limited character
- Autosomal dominant
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The correct option is (A) : Sex-linked dominant
The daughter inherits the "X-chromosome" from the father, while the "Y-chromosome" is passed down to the boys. The characteristic is X-linked since only the daughter and none of the boys are impacted. Daughters get the second X chromosome from their normal mother, who does not possess the trait's problematic allele. The characteristic is an X-linked dominant trait since it is manifested in daughters under heterozygous conditions.

Mendelian Disorders
Mendelian Disorder is a type of genetic disorder that is caused due to alterations in one gene or abnormalities in the genome. These disorders can be seen since birth and can be deduced using the Pedigree Analysis.
