If a woman carries an Xlinked recessive lethal mutation what

If a woman carries an X-linked recessive lethal mutation, what proportion of her offspring will be males (what percent of the survivors) if she mates with a normal male?

Let the allele in question be \"A\" and \"a\".

Woman\'s genotype - X^AX^a

Man\'s genotype - X^AY

So 1/3 proportion of her offspring will be males. That is 33% of the offspring will be males.

	X^A	X^a
X^A	X^AX^A	X^AX^a
Y	X^AY (survivor male)	X^aY (dead male)
