The gene for haemophilia is located on the X chromossome, and
can be passed by haemophiliac or carrier mothers to sons (more
common) or daughters. Haemophiliac fathers will always have carrier
(but not necessarily affected daughters.)

If you mean a haemophiliac - then yes. A haemophiliac is simply someone who's blood requires artificial clotting agents, as they cannot make their own. The condition is not - repeat nottransferable from one person to another !

If it is an inherited condition, the person will be called a
haemophiliac.

Wow. Do I even need to answer this one?
First off, I praise you for spelling Haemophiliac Correctly.
But, seriously. if your blood can't clot, how on earth is it
gonna clog a cut.
No.
Haemophiliacs need to make sure the bloodflow in that area is
low.

No reason why they wouldn't be ! A haemophiliac simply lacks
sufficient platelets in their bloodstream to control bleeding. The
solution is regular injections of 'factor 8' - which is produced
from blood donations ! I happen to have a high platelet count - and
donate at regular intervals !
