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.

Does a human offspring inherit hemophilia from the mother or father?
Hemophilia is sex linked. Males inherit from their mother, daughters are carriers if the defective gene is inherited from one of either parent. A female must inherit two copies of the defective allele to have hemophilia .
Are more likely to inherit hemophilia?
Males.
Hemophilia results from an allele then is?
Recessive?? (i.e., you would need to inherit one from each parent to have hemophilia)
Do Male hemophiliacs inherit the disease from their?
Male hemophiliacs inherit it from their mother, because hemophilia is only on the X gene and males only have one and it is from their mother.
How does a person inherit hemophilia and is it dominant or recessive?
It is a sex-linked recessive trait inherited from the mother.
Can people with hemophilia have children?
Yes, there is nothing stopping a person with hemophilia from having children. There are several concerns a person with hemophilia should be aware of though when the time comes to have children. The first, and most obvious would be the chance for blood loss and uncontrolled bleeding during the birthing process if the mother is the one with hemophilia. While this is something to be aware of, it is also something that can be easily prepared for and overcome. In this situation, the chances of having sons and daughter who inherit the traits for hemophilia is very likely. If the mother had the genes for hemophilia on both X chromosomes, all of her children will inherit the trait (daughters may or may not be symptomatic while all sons will be). If the mother only had the trait on one of her two X chromosomes, then there is a 50% each child born would receive the trait. Since the trait for hemophilia is located on the X chromosome, and males have only one of these X chromosomes, all daughters of a male with hemophilia will receive the genes for hemophilia from him while any sons he has will not receive the gene.
Why must male inherit colorblindness or hemophilia from their mothers?
Because the condition is an error on the X chromosome of the XY pair and the Y comes form the father and the X the mother.
How did Queen Victoria inherit hemophilia?
There are several possibilities of how she inherited hemophilia, but nobody will ever know for sure. Some possibilities are 1. That she is not the Granddaughter of King George III-meaning she was the biological daughter of a hemophiliac 2. Her mother (Victoria of Sax-Coburg) was a carrier - which turned out to be false.
Why do guys get hemophilia and not girls?
It has to do with the genetic differences between males and females. If the woman only carries it on one X chromosome, she can pass on the condition but does not have it herself as it is a recessive gene and would be dominated by the corresponding dominant trait on her other X chromosome. But females can indeed inherit the traits for hemophilia, but they generally do not survive to adulthood. If they carry the hemophilia gene on both their X chromosomes they generally bleed to death around the onset of menarche.
