A woman has an X-linked condition on one of her X chromosomes. This chromosome can be inherited by
Only grandchildren
Only sons
Only daughters
Both sons and daughters
To solve this problem, we need to understand how X-linked conditions are inherited.An X-linked condition is one that is associated with a gene located on the X chromosome.Let's analyze the inheritance pattern:A woman has two X chromosomes, one of which carries the X-linked condition.When she has children, she can pass on either of her X chromosomes to her offspring.If she passes the X chromosome with the condition to her son, he will inherit the condition because males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY).If she passes the X chromosome with the condition to her daughter, the daughter will be a carrier if the other X chromosome is normal, or affected if both X chromosomes carry the condition.Therefore, the X chromosome with the condition can be inherited by both sons and daughters.Thus, the correct answer is Option 4: Both sons and daughters.
