hemophilia is a recessive gene, if you are A female that is a carrier then if you were to have a male child it will be passed on to him. As well as if you were to have a male child who would have hemophilia. your daughter would need to be tested to see if she carried it as well. Only Males have hemophilia but females carry it.
My family has dealt with hemophilia for years.
My great Aunt carrier, her son has hemophilia
My mother a carrier, my brother has hemophilia, I do not carry it.
My Aunt is a carrier, my cousin he has it, his sister carrier as well.
The scientific answer is
This is due to the fact that females have two X chromosomes while males have only one, lacking a 'back up' copy for the defective gene the defective gene becomes manifest more easily in males. Because females have two X chromosomes and because haemophilia is rare, the chance of a female having two defective copies of the gene is very low, thus females are almost exclusively asymptomatic carriers of the disorder.

Is angel man recessive or dominant?
recessive
Is the trait for bleeder's disease dominant or recessive?
Recessive
What is the difference between dominant alleles and recessive alleles?
dominant-appears in first generation recessive-seems to dissapear
What makes a dominant allele different from recessive Allie?
A dominant alle masks the expression of the recessive trait in a heterozygous genotype, a recessive allele is the phenotpye expressed is the recessive trait.
Why are two recessive alleles needed for a recesssive trait to be shown?
bcoz in case of one dominant and one recessive, dominant allele will express its characters and suppresses the recessive ones. so for the expression of recessive characters both allele should be recessive.
What can be dominant or recessive?
Alleles can be dominant or recessive
Is melanoma dominant or recessive?
is malignant melanoma dominant or recessive
What is the difference dominant and recessive trait?
Dominant traits are the traits that mask the recessive traits. The dominant traits are stronger than recessive!
Is a situation in which a dominant allele completely masks a recessive allele for a gene.?
If you have 2 dominant alleles, the gene will be dominant, if you have 2 recessive alleles, the gene will be recessive. But if you have 1 recessive and 1 dominant, the Dominant allele will mask the recessive one.
How do you xxplain dominant and recessive?
Recessive
Is AAA recessive or dominant?
recessive
When does a recessive trait dominant over a dominant trait?
A recessive trait cannot be dominant over a dominant trait. Dominant traits are always expressed over recessive traits in heterozygous individuals because they mask the expression of the recessive trait.
Is restless leg dominant or recessive?

Which form of gene pair is expressed when both dominant and recessive are present?
In a situation where both a dominant and recessive allele are present in a gene pair, the dominant allele will be expressed phenotypically. The presence of a dominant allele overrides the expression of the recessive allele.
