Answer:

Only the daughters will be carriers and the probability is 1 or 100%

Explanation:

Homozygous dominant female = X^{G} X^{G}

Affected male = X^{G}Y

X^{G} X^{G}   x   X^{G}Y

Offspring = X^{G}X^{g} (female), X^{G}X^{g} (females), X^{G}Y (male), X^{G}Y (male)

<em>For X-linked traits, male gender can either be affected or not affected, they cannot be carriers because the Y chromosome is hypothesized to not carry any gene. Since the two X chromosomes in female carry genes, they can be carriers for X-linked traits.</em>

Considering the female children only, the probability is 1 or 100%.

Systemic sclerosis causes antigen-antibody complexes to be deposited in the dermis. why would they be deposited here
Anni [7]
<span>The antigen-antibody that is deposited in the dermis is known as T-cells. These are protein cells that divide excessively causing the development of thick and calloused skin.

The overproduction of these cells on the dermis area causes the overproduction of collagen fibers on the skin. As the skin pushes its way up to the epridermis, the overproduction of these cells result to the symptoms that are observable for diagnosis.<span>
