If you know that a woman is a hemophiliac what can you infer about the gnes carried by her parents?

Hemophilia is a sex linked recessive trait, meaning that it must be present on both X chromosomes in women while just the one X chromosome in males (because their Y chromosome lacks the necessary gene). Since the women displays the trait, both of her X chromosomes must have the recessive trait. One chromosome came from the only X chromosome her father had, so her father was also a hemophiliac. Her mother on the other hand had two possible chromosomes to donate, so she was either a recessive carrier (meaning only one of other chromosomes had the allele) or she was a complete hemophiliac with the allele on both chromosomes..


Explain why women are carrier's for the disease hemophilia. why do their son's get the disease and not the daughter's?

The gene for it occurs on the female (X) chromosome. All humans have either 2(X) chromosomes (women) or an XY pair (men). So if the man inherits a faulty X then he will have hemophilia, while a woman has a sporting chance that her other X chromosome does not have the fault and is thus protected from the disease. It is however possible for a woman with a hemophiliac father and hemophiliac carrying mother to express the disease if she inherits 2 faulty X chromosomes.
