Question

The trait is seen at a higher frequency among males than among females indicating that the trait is X linked. Also, a male in the second generation who does not show the trait and a woman who does not show the trait can have an affected son this is also an indicator of an X linked trait. The trait must be recessive since the female in the second generation who is a daughter of an affected father and a mother who does not show the trait also does not shoe the trait but is able to pass it along to her son.Bloom's
