Card 12 / 35:
How can a female carrier of an X-linked recessive disorder have a daughter who is affected?
The only way an affected daughter could be born is if the female carrier mated with a male who was affected. In this case, 50 percent of the daughters would be affected. Alternatively, but exceedingly unlikely, the daughter could become affected by a spontaneous mutation.
