You would have to be careful. You bleed very easily and a lot.
Yes of course, people with hemophilia live with it there whole lives so they learn to be very cautious.
Hemophilia is a Sex-linked genetic disorder. It is found on the X chromosome of chromosome 23.A carrier for Hemophilia(represented by H(dominant) or h(recessive)) would look like this:XHXh(Female)*Males are not carriers for hemophilia-They are either affected or they're not*An affected person would look like this:XhXh(Female) XhY(Male)Someone who is neither a carrier nor affected would look like this:XHXH(Female) XHY(Male)
Recessive?? (i.e., you would need to inherit one from each parent to have hemophilia)
The father is the one who can pass the allele for hemophilia to a daughter. Hemophilia is a recessive X-linked disorder, so the daughter would need to inherit the hemophilia allele from her father.
In a pedigree chart, Sam would be represented by a filled square (male) or circle (female) to indicate that he has hemophilia. Since Sam's brother, mother, and father do not have hemophilia, they would be represented by unfilled squares (male) or circles (female). However, Sam's mother would be a carrier of the hemophilia gene, so she would be represented by a half-filled circle. The pedigree would show Sam with hemophilia, his mother as a carrier, and his brother, father, and other family members without the disorder.
If the female has what is classically defined as female hemophilia (carries the mutation on both of her X chromosomes), then all sons she would have would also have hemophilia. All of the woman's daughters would also inherit the gene, however since they would also be getting a normal X chromosome from their father, they would not, themselves, have hemophilia under the classical definition. Today, it is understood that even carrying the trait on a single X chromosome can reduce a female's factor levels and give cause for doctors to diagnose her with hemophilia. Thus if you are simply looking at genetics (which you probably are) then the answer is all of her sons would have it and all of her daughters would be carriers. Therefore, since there is a 50-50 chance the first child bore would be a male, and a 50-50 chance it would be a female, the chance that their first child born would have hemophilia is 50%.
When people would dispute who should claim the throne when the heirs died from 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.
Hemophilia is not contagious by any means, however it can be passed from parent to offspring in the way of genetics.
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.
Hemophilia is one disease in which blood does not clot normally. von Willebrand's Disease
There is no chance that the child will have hemophilia even if the spouse has hemophilia. Any girls the couple has will be carriers if the spouse has hemophilia.
