This means that Y chromosome is only present in males and all male offsprings inherit this chromosome from their father. Whereas, female offsprings inherit X chromosome ( from each parent).

As per the question, family has Y linked disease that affects father.

Thus, there will be 100% chances of inheriting this disease by the male offspring.
