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 .
Hemophilia is typically an X-linked recessive condition. If a mother has hemophilia, she carries two copies of the hemophilia allele on her X chromosomes (since females have two X chromosomes). Therefore, any male offspring will inherit one of her X chromosomes, which will carry the hemophilia allele, leading to him being affected by the condition. The male will inherit his Y chromosome from his father, which does not carry the hemophilia gene.
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.
Hemophilia is passed down from mother to son. It is extremely rare for a woman to have hemophilia. It is necessary, though, for a woman to be a carrier of the disorder for her son to acquire this disorder. Females have two X chromosomes whereas males only have one. When a boy is born, he takes one X chromosome from his mother and one Y chromosome from his father. Therefore, he can only get hemophilia through his mother. Example One: Mother(Carrier)+Father(Non-Affected)=50% chance of their son acquiring the disorder and 50% chance of their daughter being a carrier. Example Two: Mother(Non-Affected)+Father(Hemophiliac)=All sons will be non-affected and all daughters will be carriers.
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.
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.
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.
If both parents have x-linked hemophilia, the father's genotype would be XhY and the mother's genotype would be XhXh, which is astronomically rare. If this did happen, all of their children would inherit x-linked hemophilia. Hemophilia is passed down from mother to son. It is extremely rare for a woman to have hemophilia. It is necessary, though, for a woman to be a carrier of the disorder for her son to acquire this disorder. Females have two X chromosomes whereas males only have one. When a boy is born, he takes one X chromosome from his mother and one Y chromosome from his father. Therefore, he can only get hemophilia through his mother. Example One: Mother(Carrier)+Father(Non-Affected)=50% chance of their son acquiring the disorder and 50% chance of their daughter being a carrier. Example Two: Mother(Non-Affected)+Father(Hemophiliac)=All sons will be non-affected and all daughters will be carriers.
It is a sex-linked recessive trait inherited from the mother.
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".

The gene for hemophilia is found on the 'X' human chromosome. However it is a recessive gene so if a woman (who has two 'XX' chromosomes) has one bad 'X' and one good 'X' she will not have hemophilia but will be a carrier .If she has female children and their father is not a hemophiliac, then half of her daughters may carry the bad 'X' chromosome but non will manifest the disease.However, if her children are male then her sons will have an 'X' chromosome inherited from her and a 'Y' chromosome inherited form the father and there is a 50% chance that the 'X' chromosome inherited will be the bad one. If the son inherits the bad 'X' he will be a hemophiliac and if he lives to father any daughters then all these daughters will be hemophilia carriers (because they must inherit his (bad) 'X' chromosome).It is possible for a woman to manifest hemophilia if the mother is a carrier and the father is a hemophiliac. In this case it is possible for a daughter to inherit the bad 'X' from the father and the mother's bad 'X' giving the daughter two bad 'X' chromosomes.
Possible blood types are A, B, or AB. Basically, the offspring can be any blood type except for O.
