The genes associated with Hemophilia A and B are located on the X chromosome, which is one of the 2 sex chromosomes.
For males, who have only 1 X chromosome, 1 altered copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause hemophilia.
In females, who have 2 X chromosomes, a mutation would have to occur in both copies of the gene to cause hemophilia. Since it is unlikely that females will have 2 altered copies of this gene it is therefor very rare for females to have hemophilia.
