None of their little girls will have hemophilia.Sex-connected qualities are just present on sex chromosomes. Hemophilia is a X-connected chromosome so a father who does not have hemophilia must give a non-hemophilia quality on the X chromosome he adds to his little girl. For a young lady to have a condition, both of her X chromosomes need to have the allele for that condition.
