Suppose you examined a pedigree of a large family, going back 6 generations. in generation 5, a woman ("g5w") has a serious genetic disease--its first incidence in the family. in the next generation, three of her offspring--two boys and one girl--are affected, with one daughter unaffected. what is the most likely explanation? (a) g5w's parent--the one who married into the family--carried the disease allele (but wasn't affected), and it is autosomal dominant.(b) a mutation in one of the g5w's parents, during gamete formation, created an x-linked dominant disease allele.(c) a mutation in g5w created an autosomal dominant disease allele.(d) the disease allele is recessive and x-linked; g5w's spouse also has the allele.

B: A mutation in one of G5W's parents, during gamete formation, created an X-linked dominant disease allele.

You need to analyze the sex gametes.

Boys are XY

Girls are XX

If you have an X-linked dominant disease you need only one affected X gamete to have the disease.

The mother has XX' where X' is de affected and reproduce with a healthy man XY and breed unhealthy boys, but because of the heterozygous gametes you could also have healthy ones XX and XY
