The researchers hypothesize that crossing any unaffected female and an affected male will result in a 0% chance of producing an affected male offspring - The hypothesis is correct
In the case of X-linked traits we know the following facts:
- male being an XY is hemizygous for the X chromosome and it gets its X chromosome from female.
- Male get only Y chromosome from the male parent
- X chromosome only passed to female offspring
- So in this case, X-linked trait is considered, if a male will get its chromosome from an unaffected female then there will be no chance of the male to be affected.
Thus, The researchers hypothesize that crossing any unaffected female and an affected male will result in a 0% chance of producing an affected male offspring - The hypothesis is correct
