How did hemophilia affect European politics and monarchies?
When people would dispute who should claim the throne when the heirs died from hemophilia.
Why is hemophilia rarely expressed in females?
Because hemophilia is a disease linked to a recessive gene on the X-chromosome, females have another X-chromosome to block out the diseased one. However, males have only one X-chromosome, so they are more often subject to hemophilia.
What part of the respiratory does hemophilia affect?
Typically it does not affect the respiratory system at all. The only time it would if if the person suffers an injury that causes bleeding into the lungs. At that point, I think Hemophilia would be the least of their concerns
If both parents are carriers what will the child be?
When a recessive trait is inherited from both parents, it will be expressed. If the trait is hemophilia, the child will be a hemophiliac.
Can a genetic disease affect anybody?
Exceptions are always there e.g hemophilia and many bleeding disorders don't affect females.
Does hemophilia affect a person's genetic makeup?
Well yes this is because it is genetically inherited

What are a woman chance of being a carrier for hemophilia if she phenotypically a normal woman and has phenotypically normal parents but has a hemophiliac brother?
She has 1/2 chance. We can figure out exactly what her parents' genotypes were. Her brother has a Hemophilia allele that he got from his mom. So their mom has at least 1 Hemophilia allele. If she had 2 then she would have Hemophilia. The father cannot have a Hemophilia allele because it would have been expressed. So her chances are 1/2 because her mother has 1 Hemophiliac and 1 normal allele.
Does Hemophilia affect men more than woman?
Yes. In fact hemphilia only affect men. The condition is tied to the male chromosome.
Why are females less likely to get hemophilia?
Females are less likely to show the symptoms of hemophilia but in actuality are more likely to have the genetic mutation for hemophilia. The reason they are less likely to show the symptoms is the fact that hemophilia is the result of a mutation on the X chromosome. Since females have two X chromosomes they likely have a chromosome that is not mutated as well. With the mutation normally being a recessive trait, the normal X chromosome is usually expressed instead. Since males only have one X chromosome, if the mutation for hemophilia is present, it will be expressed. For the same reasons, the chances of a female having the mutation is greater (however still very small), simply because she has two X chromosomes.
