because their father did not have the trait

because they received the dominant gene "Y" from their father

because they did not receive the recessive gene (Xb) from their mother.

because the disease is not carried on the "Y" chromosome

because Helena does not carry the trait

because Helena carries the trait but it is not homozygous

because the disease is not on the "Y" chromosome and Helena did not have the trait
