A carrier for hemophilia refers to a female that has the genetic mutation for the disorder on one of her two X chromosomes. This means that she can pass the mutation on (with a 50% chance) to her children.

A woman is a carrier for hemophilia what is the chances for sons with hemophilia if the father does not have hemophilia?
There are no hard answers to this, it depends strictly on luck. The statistics are though not very good for their children. Statisically the couple have a chance of having a normal son, a daughter that is a carrier for hemophilia, a daughter with hemophilia and a son with hemophia.
Could two phenotypically normal parents have a child with Hemophilia A?
XhXh - with hemophilia XhXH- carrier of hemophilia
If you know a woman has hemophilia what can you infer about her parents genetype?
Her father has to have hemophilia as well, and the mother is a carrier or also has hemophilia. So if we pretend that the hemophilia gene is "x", you need to have "xx" to have hemophilia. The father must have the genotype "Yx" and the mother has the have "Xx" or "xx".
If humans that allele for hernophilla h is recessive. Which I true of a women with the genotype XHXh?
She is a carrier of hemophilia but does not have the condition
When does hemophilia occurs?
Traditional Hemophilia is present from birth and throughout the individual's life. This is because the disorder is genetically linked and genetics are pretty much set at the time of conception. Acquired Hemophilia, which is much more rare, can begin at pretty much any stage of an individual's life. While being more common in older people than younger, any person on certain medications, people with liver disease, and a handful of other situations can develop acquired hemophilia. (Acquired hemophilia is not inherited.)

Who can inherit hemophilia?
Anyone can inherit hemophilia. In most cases, it is a man whose mother is a carrier of the disease. It is extremely rare for a woman to have hemophilia but it is not uncommon for one to be a carrier. It is even possible for someone whose family has no record of hemophilia to get it through gene mutations.
What is true of a woman with the genotype?
She is a carrier of hemophilia but does not have the condition
What is the Inheritance pattern of hemophilia?
If the father has hemophilia and the mother is a carrier, sons will have a 50% chance of having hemophilia. Daughters will have a 50% chance of having hemophilia and a 50% chance of being a carrier. It is very rare for both parents to have these defective genes.If the father does not have hemophilia and the mother is a carrier, sons will have a 50% chance of having hemophilia. Daughters will have a 50% chance of being carriers.If the father has hemophilia and the mother has normal blood, all sons will be normal and all daughters will be carriers.

XhXh - with hemophilia XhXH- carrier of hemophilia
How can a lady have hemophilia will it effect menstrual period?
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.
If you know a woman has hemophilia what can you infer about her parents genetype?
Her father has to have hemophilia as well, and the mother is a carrier or also has hemophilia. So if we pretend that the hemophilia gene is "x", you need to have "xx" to have hemophilia. The father must have the genotype "Yx" and the mother has the have "Xx" or "xx".
Can a girl have hemophilia?
Yes females can have hemophilia. Although very rare it has been recorded. A female can get hemophilia if her mother is a carrier and her father has it. Like I said, It doesn't happen often but is possible.
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.
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.
