Question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disease. Let the normal allele be represented as XH and the mutant allele be represented as Xh. Here,

hemophilic male = XhY

hemophilic female = XhXh

When XhY X XhXh the punnett square will be as follows:

Xh Y

Xh XhXh XhY

Xh XhXh XhY

The entire progeny will be hemophilic since only Xh allele was passed on by both the parents.
