A

autosomal dominant

B

autosomal recessive

C

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The sex linked recessive diease shows its transmission from unaffected carrier female to some of the male progeny e.g., haemophilia. The heterzyous female (carrier) of haemophilia may transmit the disease to sons. The possibility of a female becoming a haemophilic is extremely rare because mother of such a female has to be at least carrier and the father should be haemophilic.
