since you did not mention the whole scenario . so I will mention all the cases.

A man with hemophilia (a recessive, sex-linked blood clotting disorder) has a daughter of normal phenotype. She marries a man who is normal for the trait.
XH - normal
Xh - hemophilia
Since this is a recessive disorder, one XH allele will give a normal phenotype. When the offspring do not have a XH and only have the Xh allele/alleles they will have the hemophilia condition.
Man's genotype is XhY.
Daughter's genotype is XHXh (She got the Xh from her father. She has a normal phenotype, so we know her other allele is XH.
Daughter's Husband is XHY (Man is normal for the hemophilia trait)
