    A person with a sex-linked disorder

    Pat is a male since males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. Sex-linked disorders are caused by mutations or a defective gene on X chromosome. Since males only have one X chromosome, they only possess one allele for a sex-linked gene, which in this case is mutated, so Pat will have the sex-linked disorder.
