Who would be a sex-linked recessive defect?
Hemophilia, a blood clotting disorder, is an example of a sex-linked recessive defect. It occurs more commonly in males because the gene for hemophilia is located on the X chromosome. Females are usually carriers of the gene but are less likely to exhibit symptoms.
What protein is missing or defective in hemophilia?
Hemophilia is a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency or defect in clotting factor VIII (hemophilia A) or factor IX (hemophilia B). These clotting factors are essential for blood clot formation, and their deficiency leads to prolonged bleeding and poor clotting ability.
Hemophilia is caused by a defiency of what clotting factor?
Hemophilia is caused by a deficiency of clotting factor VIII (hemophilia A) or clotting factor IX (hemophilia B).
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.

What is an inherited abnormality that causes a deficiency of a specific clotting factor resulting in a reduced ablitity to clot blood?
Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that slows down the blood clotting process. People who have hemophilia often have longer bleeding after an injury or surgery. People who have severe hemophilia have spontaneous bleeding into the joints and muscles. Hemophilia occurs more commonly in males than in females.The two most common types of hemophilia are hemophilia A (also known as classic hemophilia) and hemophilia B (also known as Christmas disease). People who have hemophilia A have low levels of a blood clotting factor called factor eight (FVIII). People who have hemophilia B have low levels of factor nine (FIX).The two types of hemophilia are caused by permanent gene changes (mutations) in different genes.
A disorder caused partly or completely by a defect in genes?
There are dozens of diseases caused by a genetic defect. They are known as genetic diseases. Sickle Cell anemia, Hemophilia, Tay-Sachs, Huntingtons Disease- and many others are genetic diseases.
Which clotting factor is deficient in Hemophilia A?
Hemophilia A is an X-linked, hereditary bleeding disorder caused by the absence or defect of a blood clotting protein, Factor VIII. As a result, when a person with hemophilia A has a bleeding episode, the bleeding may be prolonged due to the body's inability to form blood clots. Patients who are affected with hemophilia A experience frequent spontaneous bleeding, most commonly into their joints and soft tissues, with bleeding into vital organs that may ... be life-threatening. Bleeding episodes may be painful, and over time, recurrent joint bleeding may result in debilitating destruction of the joints. Currently, patients with hemophilia A are dependent on injections of Factor VIII produced by genetic engineering or purified from human plasma, to help control a bleeding episode. It is estimated that approximately 50,000 individuals worldwide are affected with hemophilia A. Hemophilia A - Clotting Factor VIII Hemophilia B - Clotting Factor IX Hemophilia C - Clotting Factor XI
What is the mutation in hemophilia?
Hemophilia is a mutation of either of the genes that make factor VII or IX. Hemophilia A is a mutation of the F8 gene and Hemophilia B is the mutation of the F9 gene. Both of these mutations occur on the sex-linked X chromosome.
What is a disease in which the blood does not clot normally?
