उत्तर
If a genetic disease is transferred from a phenotypically normal but carrier female to only some of the male progeny, the disease is sex-linked recessive.
Explanation:
If a genetic disease is passed from a phenotypically normal but carrier female to only some of the male offspring, it indicates a sex-linked recessive inheritance. In such cases, females can be carriers without showing symptoms because they have two X chromosomes, and the defective gene is recessive. Males, having only one X chromosome, exhibit the disease if they inherit the affected X from the carrier mother, leading to the disease manifesting only in some of the male progeny. This pattern is typical for diseases like haemophilia and color blindness.

Turner's syndrome is an example of monosomy. It is formed by the union of an allosome-free egg and a normal 'X' containing sperm or a normal egg and an allosome-free sperm. The individual has 2n = 45 chromosomes (44 + X0) instead of 46. Such individuals are sterile females who have rudimentary ovaries, underdeveloped breasts, small uterus, short stature, webbed neck, and abnormal intelligence. They may not menstruate or ovulate. This disorder can be treated by giving female sex hormones to women from the age of puberty to make them develop breasts and have menstruation. This makes them feel more normal.
