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.
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 .
Males.
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.
Recessive?? (i.e., you would need to inherit one from each parent to have hemophilia)
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.
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.
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.
If you are a carrier of hemophilia (which is common in females who have a hemophiliac father) and your husband does not have the condition, there is a 50% chance that your daughter will inherit the gene for hemophilia and be a carrier, but not actually have the condition herself. There is also a 50% chance she will not inherit the gene at all. If you have hemophilia, all of your daughters will be carriers, while your sons will not be affected.
It is a sex-linked recessive trait inherited from the mother.
The woman's father being unaffected means that he does not carry the gene for hemophilia on his X chromosome. Therefore, the woman does not have the gene and cannot pass it on to her son. Her son will not inherit hemophilia from his uncle.
The genotype of Alice of Hesse is Tt and Leopold is tt.
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.
