(D)here the X from the father is normal.(because son is affected which means X from mother is diseased and father shud have disease if X is diseased as he as only one X)
so in the daughter the X from father is inactivated.SKEWED here means that its a selective inactivation of father's X. even in stats we means it is inclined towards a particular direction it is not equally chanced. here its the same.
