Question

Hemophilia is a sex–linked disorder that is caused by a defective gene on the X chromosome. What will be the pattern of inheritance of the offspring of a hemophiliac father?

Answer 1

From what I believe, 50%. The chromosome from the father can either be X or Y, so it’s a chance to carry it in the X gene if the child is a girl. If its a boy, then it has no chance of carrying the gene. Hope this helps
