Answer 1

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on Mendelian inheritance 4 offs-pings were produced,

XX haemophiliac first girl

XX carrier girl

XY HAEMOPHILIAC first boy

XY normal second boy

Since the father of the woman is haemophiliac, then she is a carrier fro haemophilia (although with normal vision) who inherited the allele of the the sex-linked X chromosomes from the father.
