Answer:

X-linked dominant

Explanation:

In this scenario,

It is caused by a X-linked dominant allele. Bob daughters would all have the same skin condition as Bob.

It will interest you to know that none of Bob sons would have the skin conditions as they have his Y chromosome instead

Answer:

One-half of the daughters of an affected man would have this condition.

Explanation:

Each daughter born to a woman that is positive for a dystrophin mutation on one of her two X chromosomes possess a 50 percent likelihood of possessing the mutation and also becoming a carrier. Carriers at times do not show the disease symptoms but may give birth to a child that has the mutation or the disease condition. DMD carriers do have a higher chance of cardiomyopathy.

A man with DMD cannot transfer the affected gene to his sons since he passes to his son a Y chromosome, not the X chromosome. But he will definately transfer it to his daughters, since each daughter possess her father’s only X chromosome resulting in the daughters being carriers.

Hence, One-half of the daughters of an affected father and a carrier mother could have this condition.
