Which of the following statements about X-linked recessive inheritance is true? X-linked recessive traits appear more frequently in females than males. X-linked traits are only found in humans. Females who are carriers of an X-linked recessive trait may not exhibit any phenotypic effects. Males have two allele copies of X-linked genes.
A man with X-linked color blindness marries a woman with no history of color blindness in her family. The daughter of this couple marries a normal man, and their daughter also marries a normal man. What is the chance that this last couple will have a child with color blindness? If this couple has already had a child with color blindness, what is the chance that their next child will be color blind?
Color-blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. Under what circumstances will this condition manifest in a child?  Top of Form   If the child is a male and its mother has the recessive allele   If the child is a female and its father has the recessive allele   If the child is a female and its mother has the recessive allele   If the child is a male and its father has the recessive allele
