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.

Does a human offspring inherit hemophilia from the mother or father?

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 .


Are more likely to inherit hemophilia?

Males.


A woman is a carrier for hemophilia what is the chances for sons with hemophilia if the father does not have hemophilia?

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 results from an allele then is?

Recessive?? (i.e., you would need to inherit one from each parent to have hemophilia)


Do Male hemophiliacs inherit the disease from their?

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.


What allele is passed to a offspring male if mother has 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.


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.


You have hemophiliac and your husband does not what are the chances of your daughter getting it?

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.


How does a person inherit hemophilia and is it dominant or recessive?

It is a sex-linked recessive trait inherited from the mother.


Mutated allele is recessive to the normal allele What will be the result of mating between a normal non-carrier female and hemophiliac male percentage of the children are predicted to have hemophilia?

In this scenario, the normal non-carrier female has two normal alleles (homozygous dominant), while the hemophiliac male has one mutated allele (hemophilia allele) and one normal allele (heterozygous). When they mate, all offspring will inherit one normal allele from the mother and either a normal or mutated allele from the father. Consequently, 100% of their children will inherit a normal allele from the mother, and none will inherit hemophilia, resulting in 0% of the children having hemophilia.


The brother of a women's father has hemophilia her father was unaffected but she worries that she may have an affected son should she worry explain?

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.
