Since we can never be sure that we know everything about the mechanisms behind blood clotting and there may always be just another protein involved in it, there is at the moment no definitive answer to this question. Even if we could be sure that our knowledge is comprehensive, it would still be difficult to define exactly which genes are "for blood clotting" and which aren't, as many genes contribute indirectly to blood clotting.
There is however no reason for there to be a difference between males and females in this number.
If you are considering only the main clotting factors (tissue factor, VII, X, prothrombin, V, VIII, IX, fibrin and XIII), these are 9 genes.

What is main role of vitamin K function?
the function of vitamin k is to help blood clot quickly when you cut your self, love a 13 year old girl.
What abdominal organ would affect blood clotting ability?
The liver. It produces many of the major clotting factors that are circulated in your blood. Student Doctor.
How many clotting factors are required for blood to clot?

How many genes are there for blood type?
There are three
If an organism has XX genes it is a?
If an organism has XX genes, it is typically female in species where females have two X chromosomes, such as in humans and many mammals.
What is the source of vitamin k?
it helps in the clotting of blood and with many other functions.
How many different genes control the blood type of an individule?

What prevents abnormal clotting within blood vessels?
There are many things people can do to prevent blood from clotting inside the blood vessels. One of those is making sure you don't sit/laydown very long. For example, when you take a plane ride, it is smart to get up and move around because having your legs down for so long makes your blood slow down (blood pooling) and it makes it easier for clotting to accur.
How many times do you invert the tube of blood so it will not clot?
Inverting a tube of blood will not prevent it clotting. Only an anticoagulant will do this, the different coloured tops on blood samples refer to the different anticoagulants or lack thereof inside the tubes. Inverting the tube is done to mix blood samples that have settled gently inverting the tube 6-10 times is enough to mix the blood. Inverting the tube more than this or doing it too violently could trigger clotting even in a sample containing an anticoagulant.
How many liters of blood are in the average female?

Why might a blood clot be important to maintaining homeostasis?
Homeostasis is a term used to describe normal body functions, which include blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, respiration and blood composition. Coagulation contributes to homeostasis as the platelets and clotting factors in the blood clots and ceases bleeding.
What do thrombocyctes do?
Platelets (thrombocytes) are the smallest type of blood cell. They are important in blood clotting. When bleeding occurs, the platelets swell, clump together, and form a sticky plug that helps stop the bleeding. If there are too few platelets, uncontrolled bleeding may be a problem. If there are too many platelets, there is a chance of a blood clot forming in a blood vessel. Also, platelets may be involved in hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis).
