The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Text Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a disease that is transmitted from a carrier female to some of her male offspring. This implies that the disease is linked to the sex chromosomes, specifically the X chromosome. 2. **Identifying the Type of Inheritance**: The disease in question is likely a sex-linked recessive disease. This is because such diseases are often carried on the X chromosome, and males (who have only one X chromosome) are more likely to express the disease if they inherit the affected X from their mother. 3. **Examples of Sex-Linked Recessive Diseases**: One of the most well-known examples of a sex-linked recessive disease is hemophilia. In this condition, a carrier female (who has one normal X chromosome and one affected X chromosome) can pass the affected X chromosome to her male offspring. 4. **Transmission Mechanism**: If a carrier female has a son, there is a 50% chance that she will pass on the affected X chromosome to him. If he inherits this affected X chromosome, he will express the disease because he does not have a second X chromosome to mask the recessive allele. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the disease that shows transmission from a carrier female to some of her male progeny is a sex-linked recessive disease, with hemophilia being a prime example. **Final Answer**: The disease is a sex-linked recessive disease, such as hemophilia. ---
