Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason as to why the male offsprings do not have the mutated allele.

A mutated allele is basically an altered form of a gene. It happens due to changes in the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences and inactivation of protein function. The reason that male offspring do not have the mutated allele is due to the MCR (mutagenic chain reaction).
