Hemophilia normally refers to a genetic disorder that can be either inherited or the result of a spontaneous mutation. Since the genetic form of hemophilia is linked to a mutation on the X chromosome, males typically show the full symptoms while females with the mutation typically have somewhat mitigated symptoms or none at all.
While the majority of the cases of genetic hemophilia are inherited, meaning that the genes were passed down from the the parents, approximately 1/3 of the cases are spontaneous mutations. The mutation occurs at conception, meaning that all genetic forms basically take effect at birth.
Acquired hemophilia is a result of some other influence such as liver damage or specific medications. This form of hemophilia is neither inherited nor genetic.
In short, technically anyone can get hemophilia. Genetic hemophilia is present at birth, and it tends to impact the health of males more than females, but can affect females too.

What is a carrier for hemophilia?
A carrier for hemophilia is a female who carries the genetic mutation for hemophilia on one of her X chromosomes, but does not exhibit symptoms of the condition herself. Carriers can pass on the gene mutation to their children, resulting in hemophilia in male offspring. Testing can confirm carrier status.
If you know a woman has hemophilia what can you infer about her parents genetype?
Her father has to have hemophilia as well, and the mother is a carrier or also has hemophilia. So if we pretend that the hemophilia gene is "x", you need to have "xx" to have hemophilia. The father must have the genotype "Yx" and the mother has the have "Xx" or "xx".
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.
Could two phenotypically normal parents have a child with Hemophilia A?
XhXh - with hemophilia XhXH- carrier of hemophilia
What are the offspring of hemophilia?
Hemophilia is passed down from mother to son. It is extremely rare for a woman to have hemophilia. It is necessary, though, for a woman to be a carrier of the disorder for her son to acquire this disorder. Females have two X chromosomes whereas males only have one. When a boy is born, he takes one X chromosome from his mother and one Y chromosome from his father. Therefore, he can only get hemophilia through his mother. Example One: Mother(Carrier)+Father(Non-Affected)=50% chance of their son acquiring the disorder and 50% chance of their daughter being a carrier. Example Two: Mother(Non-Affected)+Father(Hemophiliac)=All sons will be non-affected and all daughters will be carriers.
Can a girl have hemophilia?
Yes females can have hemophilia. Although very rare it has been recorded. A female can get hemophilia if her mother is a carrier and her father has it. Like I said, It doesn't happen often but is possible.
What is a carrier for hemophilia?
A carrier for hemophilia is a female who carries the genetic mutation for hemophilia on one of her X chromosomes, but does not exhibit symptoms of the condition herself. Carriers can pass on the gene mutation to their children, resulting in hemophilia in male offspring. Testing can confirm carrier status.
Who can inherit hemophilia?
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.
How can a lady have hemophilia will it effect menstrual period?
Normally a woman is only a carrier of hemophilia, but if her mother is a carrier and her father has hemophilia the female does have a chance to get it. It is very rare for this to happen but It has been recorded.
Sam has hemophilia. Sam's brother mother and father do not have hemophilia. Draw a pedigree showing who has the disorder and who is a carrier?
In a pedigree chart, Sam would be represented by a filled square (male) or circle (female) to indicate that he has hemophilia. Since Sam's brother, mother, and father do not have hemophilia, they would be represented by unfilled squares (male) or circles (female). However, Sam's mother would be a carrier of the hemophilia gene, so she would be represented by a half-filled circle. The pedigree would show Sam with hemophilia, his mother as a carrier, and his brother, father, and other family members without the disorder.
What chromosome number is hemophilia on?
Hemophilia is a Sex-linked genetic disorder. It is found on the X chromosome of chromosome 23.A carrier for Hemophilia(represented by H(dominant) or h(recessive)) would look like this:XHXh(Female)*Males are not carriers for hemophilia-They are either affected or they're not*An affected person would look like this:XhXh(Female) XhY(Male)Someone who is neither a carrier nor affected would look like this:XHXH(Female) XHY(Male)
If you know a woman has hemophilia what can you infer about her parents genetype?
Her father has to have hemophilia as well, and the mother is a carrier or also has hemophilia. So if we pretend that the hemophilia gene is "x", you need to have "xx" to have hemophilia. The father must have the genotype "Yx" and the mother has the have "Xx" or "xx".

A woman is a carrier for hemophilia what are the chances for sons with hemophilia if the father does not have hemophilia?
Since the gene for Hemophilia is carried on the X chromosome and males pass only their Y chromosome onto their sons, no their sons should not have hemophilia. Of course all daughters of a male with hemophilia will be carriers of the mutation since they with receive his X chromosome, not the Y.
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 true of a woman with the genotype?
She is a carrier of hemophilia but does not have the condition
