Answer:

A. Grandmother.  

B. 0

Explanation:

A. If there is no history of the disease in the family, there were only female unaffected genetic carriers. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a recessive disease linked to the X chromosome, all man with the mutation will display the disease, since they have only one X chromosome (XY). Women have XX, so, if they inherit an abnormal dystrophin gene, but they have a normal allele on the other X chromosome, they won´t develop the muscular dystrophy.  

B. The problem does not state that the woman is a carrier, so, the probability of having a child affected is zero. The disease is linked to the X chromosome, so, sons will not be affected, and daughters would have a copy of the mutated gene, but will not display the symptoms.

aleksandrvk [35]

Fertilization refers to the process of two gametes of opposite sex uniting (option C).

<h3>What is fertilization?</h3>

Fertilization is the process whereby the male gamete unites with the female gamete to form a zygote.

In sexually reproducing organisms, the male organism of a species produces a gamete called sperm cell while the female organism produces egg or ova.

Therefore, it can be said that fertilization refers to the process of two gametes of opposite sex (male and female) uniting.
