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.
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.
How does a person inherit hemophilia and is it dominant or recessive?
It is a sex-linked recessive trait inherited from the mother.
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.
What are the genotypes of Alice of Hesse and Leopold Duke of Albany?
The genotype of Alice of Hesse is Tt and Leopold is tt.
Can a male be a carrier for hemophilia?
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.
Is hemophilia a sex-limited or a sex-influenced trait?
Hemophilia, along with color blindness, is a sex-linked recessive trait. Hemophilia is when a person lacks a clotting factor in the blood. This results in the decreased ability to have blood clots. This can be dangerous because a person may internally or externally bleed to death. People with hemophilia must take clotting factors (by needle injection) frequently throughout their lives in order to live. As it is to be known, mothers are the carriers of these kind of traits. If a mother has the hemophilia trait, that means that her son will have hemophilia.
Explain why a woman carrying a gene for hemophlia can produce hemophilic sons when she is mated with a normal male?
A woman carrying a gene for hemophilia is typically a carrier with one X chromosome carrying the hemophilia gene and one X chromosome carrying the normal gene. When she is mated with a normal male who has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, there is a 50% chance that the son will inherit the X chromosome carrying the hemophilia gene from the mother. Since males have only one X chromosome, if they inherit the hemophilia gene, they will express the disorder.
