Why Males having a greater chance of hemophilia?
Hemophilia occurs in the X chromosome, and males are the genders that have the X chromosome.
Is hemophilia a defect?
Hemophilia is a genetic mutation of the sex-linked X chromosome.
What chromosomes does hemophilia occur on?
Hemophilia is a X linked recessive disorder. Usually the mother is an unaffected carrier and her son unfortunately receives the X chromosome in which hemophilia is linked to.
Is hemophilia a pattern inheritance?
Hemophilia is a sex linked gene carried in the x chromosome.
What chromosome number is Hemophilia found on?
26
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.
Which chromosome contains the gene for hemophilia?
The X chromosome. That's why it's more common in males; females have 2 X chromosomes, but males only have 1. So if a woman has the hemophilia mutation on one of her chromosomes, she probably won't be affected by it.
Why is hemophilia considered to be a sex trait?
It is carried on the X chromosome.
Why is hemophilia considered to be a sex-linked?
It is carried on the X chromosome.
A recessive gene located on the X chromosome is the cause of hemophilia in affected individuals. Males are more likely to have hemophilia than females because?
Males only have one copy of the X chromosome
A woman is a carrier for hemophilia what are the chances for sons with hemophilia if the father does not have hemophilia?
Since the gene for Hemophilia is carried on the X chromosome and males pass only their Y chromosome onto their sons, no their sons should not have hemophilia. Of course all daughters of a male with hemophilia will be carriers of the mutation since they with receive his X chromosome, not the Y.
Why is hemophilia considered to be a sex link trait?
Because the gene that causes hemophilia is located on the X chromosome, so it will occur in males more frequently than in females.
