A carrier for hemophilia refers to a female that has the genetic mutation for the disorder on one of her two X chromosomes. This means that she can pass the mutation on (with a 50% chance) to her children.

A carrier for hemophilia is a female who carries the genetic mutation for hemophilia on one of her X chromosomes, but does not exhibit symptoms of the condition herself. Carriers can pass on the gene mutation to their children, resulting in hemophilia in male offspring. Testing can confirm carrier status.

If you know a woman has hemophilia what can you infer about her parents genetype?
If a woman has hemophilia, it means she inherited one affected X chromosome from each of her parents. This suggests that her father is likely a carrier of the hemophilia gene on his X chromosome, and her mother is either a carrier of the gene on one of her X chromosomes or has hemophilia herself.
A woman is a carrier for hemophilia what is the chances for sons with hemophilia if the father does not have hemophilia?
If the mother is a carrier for hemophilia, there is a 50% chance that her sons will inherit the hemophilia gene, but only if the father does not have hemophilia. This is because sons inherit the X chromosome that carries the hemophilia gene from their mother. If the father does not have hemophilia, the son will not inherit a healthy X chromosome from him to compensate for the defective X chromosome from the mother.

If humans that allele for hernophilla h is recessive. Which I true of a women with the genotype XHXh?
She is a carrier of hemophilia but does not have the condition
If parents with hemophilia have a child Will that child have hemophilia?
If both parents have hemophilia, there's a chance their child will inherit the condition. Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder, so if the child inherits the affected X chromosome from the mother and the father, they will have hemophilia. However, it's possible for the child to inherit the affected gene from only one parent and be a carrier without showing symptoms of the disorder.
Sam has hemophilia. Sam's brother mother and father do not have hemophilia. Draw a pedigree showing who has the disorder and who is a carrier?

Who can inherit hemophilia?
Anyone can inherit hemophilia. In most cases, it is a man whose mother is a carrier of the disease. It is extremely rare for a woman to have hemophilia but it is not uncommon for one to be a carrier. It is even possible for someone whose family has no record of hemophilia to get it through gene mutations.

What is true of a woman with the genotype?
She is a carrier of hemophilia but does not have the condition
What is the Inheritance pattern of hemophilia?
If the father has hemophilia and the mother is a carrier, sons will have a 50% chance of having hemophilia. Daughters will have a 50% chance of having hemophilia and a 50% chance of being a carrier. It is very rare for both parents to have these defective genes.If the father does not have hemophilia and the mother is a carrier, sons will have a 50% chance of having hemophilia. Daughters will have a 50% chance of being carriers.If the father has hemophilia and the mother has normal blood, all sons will be normal and all daughters will be carriers.

How can a lady have hemophilia will it effect menstrual period?
Normally a woman is only a carrier of hemophilia, but if her mother is a carrier and her father has hemophilia the female does have a chance to get it. It is very rare for this to happen but It has been recorded.
Can a girl have hemophilia?
Yes females can have hemophilia. Although very rare it has been recorded. A female can get hemophilia if her mother is a carrier and her father has it. Like I said, It doesn't happen often but is possible.
What chromosomes does hemophilia occur on?
Hemophilia is a X linked recessive disorder. Usually the mother is an unaffected carrier and her son unfortunately receives the X chromosome in which hemophilia is linked to.
