<u>Answer</u>:

F - Offspring will inherit the gene as they do all other chromosomes.

M-Express the allele whether it is dominant or recessive since there is no second allele to mask the effects.

M -Offspring will inherit the gene on their X chromosome, but the gene will not be present on the Y chromosome.

<u>Explanation</u> :

1.<em> Offspring will inherit the gene as they do all other chromosomes.</em>

Since females have two X chromosomes and males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, the inheritance of chromosomes in males is not going to be the same as that of other chromosomes as the X and Y chromosomes do not have the same set of genes.

Thus, the given statement is only true for females.

2. <em>Express the allele whether it is dominant or recessive since there is no second allele to mask the effects.</em>

Since in males the Y chromosome lacks the corresponding allele for the X chromosome, the allele will be expressed irrespective of being dominant or recessive.

3. <em>Offspring will inherit the gene on their X chromosome, but the gene will not be present on the Y chromosome.</em>

In males, a particular gene will be inherited from the mother present on the X chromosome but not from the father since he contributes the Y gene which lacks the genes.
