The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we will break down the concepts of X-linked recessive traits and their inheritance patterns step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states that "An X-linked recessive trait shows transmission from carrier male to female progeny." - In X-linked inheritance, males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). - A male can carry an X-linked recessive trait if he has the recessive allele on his single X chromosome (X^cY). - When a carrier male (X^cY) has offspring with a female (XX), he can pass on his X chromosome (X^c) to his daughters. ### Step 2: Analyzing the Assertion - If the carrier male (X^cY) has a daughter, she will receive one of his X chromosomes (X^c) and one X chromosome from her mother (X). - This means the daughter will be a carrier (X^cX) but not affected by the trait because she has one normal allele (X). - Therefore, the assertion is true: a carrier male can transmit the X-linked recessive trait to female progeny, making them carriers. ### Step 3: Understanding the Reason The reason states that "X-linked recessive trait shows non-criss-cross inheritance." - In criss-cross inheritance, traits are passed from male to female and then from female to male. - For X-linked traits, the inheritance pattern typically follows criss-cross inheritance: affected males pass their X chromosome to daughters, and affected females pass their X chromosome to sons. - Thus, X-linked recessive traits do show criss-cross inheritance. ### Step 4: Analyzing the Reason - Since X-linked recessive traits do exhibit criss-cross inheritance, the reason provided is false. - Therefore, the reason does not correctly explain the assertion. ### Conclusion Based on the analysis: - The assertion is true: a carrier male can transmit the X-linked recessive trait to female progeny. - The reason is false: X-linked recessive traits do show criss-cross inheritance. ### Final Answer Both the assertion (A) is true, and the reason (R) is false.
