∙ 14y agoHemophilia is not sex-linked in the usual way, that is, it can affect either males or females, however it does have a different outcome depending upon gender. Men can survive hemophilia even as adults, but women cannot survive beyond the point of menarche, when they begin to menstruate, at which time they bleed to death.

∙ 13y agoIt is a disorder which is passed on through your genes. It's actually quite simple. You see, hemophilia is hereditary, hence the "genetic". Then, it is a disorder of the blood, hence "disorder". "Genetic Disorder".

Is hemophilia a dominantrecessiv or a sex linked trait?
Sexlinked and recessive.
Is color blindness a dominant or a recessive trait?
Color blindness is a recessive sex linked trait.
What gene or chromosome is mutated in the hemophilia disorder?
There are two types of hemophilia. Type A: A mutation in the factor VIII gene. Type B: A mutation in the IX gene.

Is hemophilia a dominantrecessiv or a sex linked trait?
Sexlinked and recessive.
Why is hemophilia considered to be a sex trait?
It is carried on the X chromosome.
Is hemophilia a recessive or dominant trait?
Hemophelia is a recessive trait. By Aline Garcia
Is hemophilia recessive or dominant?
Hemophilia ia a sex linked disorder that is normally recessive. There are many cases however where trait shows "incomplete or shared" dominance. In these cases the females will have lowered percentages of the clotting factor proteins and may for all intents and purposes be considered mild or moderate hemophiliacs themselves.
Is sickle cell anemia a sexlinked trait?
Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.
Example of sex-limited trait in animals?
Hemophilia.
What is one of a mutation that produces a harmful trait?
Hemophilia.
Is hemophilia a sex-limited or a sex-influenced trait?
Hemophilia, along with color blindness, is a sex-linked recessive trait. Hemophilia is when a person lacks a clotting factor in the blood. This results in the decreased ability to have blood clots. This can be dangerous because a person may internally or externally bleed to death. People with hemophilia must take clotting factors (by needle injection) frequently throughout their lives in order to live. As it is to be known, mothers are the carriers of these kind of traits. If a mother has the hemophilia trait, that means that her son will have hemophilia.
Is hemophilia a disorder?
The clinical answer would be yes, however there are many exceptions to the rule in the case of hemophilia. The trait for hemophilia is carried on the X chromosome and is often recessive. This being the case, since females have 2 X chromosomes, there is typically a dominant gene on their other X that corrects the disorder if one X carries the trait for hemophilia. Males, having only one X chromosome (paired with a Y chromosome) an only express the traits on the one X that they have. This being the case, a male with the trait for hemophilia on his X chromosome must be affected by it. In more recent years it has become understood that the trait for hemophilia is not as recessive as once thought. In many females the trait has shown incomplete or shared dominance with the otherwise normal gene. This often results in the female having low clotting factor levels and actually being considered a mild or moderate hemophiliac.
What type of trait is hemophilia?
recessive sex-linked, X chromosome disorders, haemophilia is more likely to occur in males than females.
If both parents are carriers what will the child be?
When a recessive trait is inherited from both parents, it will be expressed. If the trait is hemophilia, the child will be a hemophiliac.
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.
