HELP ITS TIMED!: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a recessive allele located on the X-chromosome. Two unaffected people have a child with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

What is the genotype of the mother?
Question 2 options:

XDXD


XDXd


XdXd

Respuesta :

Answer:

XDxd

Explanation:

the recessive allele for the disease is represented by (d).

the dominant allele for not having the disease is represented by (D)

in order to not be affected, we know that the mother must have one uppercase D, so the last option is wrong. And in order to pass it on to her child, she needs one lower case d (to give to the child). So the second answer is correct. good luck :).
