![]() ![]() A genetic mutation cannot be corrected.A man will never transmit the mutated gene to his son if he is linked to the X chromosome.A man who has an X-linked disease will always transmit the mutated gene to his daughter, who will develop the disease if it is dominant or will be a carrier if it is recessive.If a son inherits a mutated gene from her mother, he will be affected by the disease however, if a daughter inherits the mutated gene, she can be a carrier and not develop the disease, like her mother. ![]()
