The EDA gene, located on the X chromosome, contributes to sweat gland formation in the skin. Mutations in EDA can lead to the absence of such glands. A mosaic pattern (i.e., random patches) of gland presence and absence is observed in some females, suggesting that X-inactivation can affect the expression of the mutation. If a woman with this phenotype mates with a man who possesses a normal distribution of sweat glands, what is the probability that her children will exhibit the same phenotype as her?
