Hemophilia is passed down from mother to son through your genes. It is extremely
rare for a woman to have hemophilia. It is necessary, though, for
a woman to be a carrier of the disorder for her son to acquire this
disorder. Females have two X chromosomes whereas males only
have one. When a boy is born, he takes one X chromosome from
his mother and one Y chromosome from his father. Therefore, he
can only get hemophilia through his mother.
Example One:
Mother(Carrier)+Father(Non-Affected)=50% chance of their son
acquiring the disorder and 50% chance of their daughter being a
carrier.
Example Two:
Mother(Non-Affected)+Father(Hemophiliac)=All sons will be
non-affected and all daughters will be carriers.
No, Hemophilia is a genetic disease. A person is born with it.

The simple answer is - you can't ! Hemophilia is a genetic medical condition - not a communicable disease. A person is born with the disease. You can't 'catch' it from being in contact with someone - nor is it spread by the person touching surfaces etc. It is treatable - but incurable. A person with Hemophilia has it all their life.

Hemophilia, along with color blindness, is a sex-linked recessive trait. Hemophilia is when a person lacks a clotting factor in the blood. This results in the decreased ability to have blood clots. This can be dangerous because a person may internally or externally bleed to death. People with hemophilia must take clotting factors (by needle injection) frequently throughout their lives in order to live. As it is to be known, mothers are the carriers of these kind of traits. If a mother has the hemophilia trait, that means that her son will have hemophilia.
Yes, Sickle cell affects the red blood cells while hemophilia is a condition where an extracellular protein is deficient in the person's blood.
A lack of factor VIII is hemophilia A, and a lack in factor IX is hemophilia B. They can cause excessive bleeding because the person is unable to clot.
Normally a woman is only a carrier of hemophilia, but if her mother is a carrier and her father has hemophilia the female does have a chance to get it. It is very rare for this to happen but It has been recorded.
In the most common type, Hemophilia A, the person lacks clotting factor VIII. In Hemophilia B, clotting factor IX is lacking.
When using gene therapy doctors can replace hemophilia by replacing the defective in the X chromosome. It would help person out a lot but a person would still have a little trouble by the way I'm in the 7th grade.
Hemophiliac is a noun. It's the term for a person who has hemophilia.
