What is true of swex-linked inherited diseases such as hemophilia?
Mothers most often pass the disease to sons.
Which of the parents can pass the allele for hemophilia to a daughter?
The father is the one who can pass the allele for hemophilia to a daughter. Hemophilia is a recessive X-linked disorder, so the daughter would need to inherit the hemophilia allele from her father.
A woman is a carrier for hemophilia what are the chances for sons with hemophilia if the father does not have hemophilia?
Since the gene for Hemophilia is carried on the X chromosome and males pass only their Y chromosome onto their sons, no their sons should not have hemophilia. Of course all daughters of a male with hemophilia will be carriers of the mutation since they with receive his X chromosome, not the Y.
Are some boys carriers for hemophilia?
A male with hemophilia does in fact carry the genes and can pass them on to his daughters, so yes, some boys (if they have hemophilia) are carriers.
What is a carrier for hemophilia?
A carrier for hemophilia is a female who carries the genetic mutation for hemophilia on one of her X chromosomes, but does not exhibit symptoms of the condition herself. Carriers can pass on the gene mutation to their children, resulting in hemophilia in male offspring. Testing can confirm carrier status.
Do the sins of the fathers pass to sons?
no
Why is it unlikely that natural selection will quickly reduce the frequency of hemophilia?
While the condition affects the males, it is CARRIED by the females, who do not suffer the effects of hemophilia, and can pass the disorder to THEIR female offspring.
When did Abraham Lincoln get hemophilia?
It is actually not possible to 'get' hemophilia. Hemophilia is passed on from the mother (the carrier) to the son, not the daughter as it is rare for a girl. A boy has two chromosomes, an X and a Y, and girl has two X's. Hemophilia is inherited through the X chromosome, so a girl can carry hemophilia, but unless she inherits hemophilia on both of her chromosomes, she can't have the disease. REGARDING YOUR QUESTION, It is actually not confirmed whether Lincoln had hemophilia, people suspected some sort of genetic disorder, there were two suspected and hemophilia was one. People didn't know very much of the disease when Abraham was president. In fact is wasn't a named disease until 1828, and then hemophiliacs often didn't live pass the age of thirteen. With not much doctors could do to stop bleeding, and considering the age of Abraham its unlikely he had hemophilia.
