Which of the following individuals will inherit an X-linked allele from a man who carries it?

A) all of his children
B) all of his daughters
C) all of his sons
D) half of his daughters

The males's genome contain XY chromosomes, while female's genome have XX chromosome. If a man has X-linked allele it will be expressed (e.g. the diseases will appear). If a woman has one X-linked allele she will be the carrier (but will not develop the disease). Daughter will inherit one X chromosome from mother and another from father. So, if a man has X-linked disease, all of his daughters will become carriers of the disease.
