The disorder where the grandfather and the grandchild are affected is related with the X chromosome and is called Sex linked or X linked disorder.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

All the sex linked disorders are recessive in character i.e the normal allele is dominant over the mutated allele. In females, there are 2 X chromosomes, so the mutated allele is only expressed when there are both the mutated alleles, else its masked by the dominant normal allele. But in males, there's only one X chromosome, so if a mutated allele is present, it's readily expressed.

If the Grandfather is diseased, then he must have that mutated allele in X chromosome. Through reproduction, its received by the mother, but she is normal because the other allele received from grandmother was normal. But mother has one of the X chromosomes with mutated allele, which is received by the grandson who again becomes diseased. So the disorder must be X linked disorder

Answer:

Chromatin condensation begins during prophase (2) and chromosomes become visible. Chromosomes remain condensed throughout the various stages of mitosis (2-5). ... However, when eukaryotic cells are not dividing — a stage called interphase — the chromatin within their chromosomes is less tightly packed.
