Answer 2

Yes, hemophilia is hereditary. It results from a mutation in the X chromosome. Typically, a female who carries the mutation will not show symptoms (since women have 2 X chromosomes, the healthy one will compensate for the mutated one), but can still pass the condition to her offspring. On the other hand, since men have only X chromosome, if they carry the mutation at all, they will almost always show symptoms.

Answer 3

That depends on the type of hemophilia. There is a condition called Acquired Hemophilia that is not genetic and therefore not inheritable. Traditional hemophilia is genetic and therefore is inheritable. Due to the nature of the disorder, traditional hemophilia can be cause by random mutations at the time of birth as well, meaning that the individual can have genetic hemophilia without actually inheriting it from their parents. Once this mutation has occurred, the individual can pass the trait on to their children and future generations.
