Does a mother pass on hemophilia to her son?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

How did Queen Victoria become Queen?

Asked by Wiki User

Her grandfather was George III, and her father was his 4th son. Her uncle George IV had no children, so when he died, his brother William IV became king. William IV had no children either, so George and William's niece Victoria was declared heir, and became queen on William's death on June 20, 1837.

Reportedly, William IV did not like Victoria's mother, and did everything he could to stay alive past Victoria's 18th birthday, so that Victoria would not need a regent to rule on her behalf.
She became Queen because she was the niece of King William IV. William IV did not have any legitimate children who could take over the throne after he was gone so when he died in 1837 Victoria became Queen at 18

Many places In England are named after Queen Victoria because she was the reigning Monarch during the Industrial revolution. During her reign things like the Great Exhibition (The Crystal Palace), the railways etc. were built. Also, she ruled the British Empire and was self-proclaimed Indian Empress.

Turn the key to the run position and push a long small diameter pin up through a hole located on the bottom side of the steering column to release the cylinder. Pull out the cylinder and replace. If you dont have a key, or it wont turn, I am afraid you are stuck drilling it out.

What was Queen Victoria's relationship with Queen Elizabeth II?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. Henry VIII was the brother of Margaret Tudor who married James IV of Scotland. Queen Victoria is a descendent of James IV and Margaret Tudor.

Queen Victoria was also a descendent of the first Norman King of England William I the Conqueror and the Saxon King Alfred the Great of Wessex who united the Anglo-Saxons people to create one country called England in the 9th Century A.D. . Again this connection to Anglo-Saxon England is through Victoria's Scottish Royal ancestors who are descended, amongst others, from King Alfred the Great.
