A client is not certain whether she and her family should participate in a genetic screening plan
She asks the nurse why the X-linked recessive disorder that has been noted in some of her family members is expressed in males more frequently than in females. What is the nurse's best re-sponse? a. "The disease tends to show up in males because they don't have a second X chromosome to balance expression of the gene." b. "One X chromosome of a pair is always inactive in females. This inactivity effec-tively negates the effects of the gene." c. "Females are known to have more effec-tive DNA repair mechanisms than males, thus negating the damage caused by the recessive gene." d. "Expression of genes from the male's Y chromosome does not occur in females, so they are essentially immune to the effects of the gene."
