Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemophilia is caused by a recessive X-linked gene, meaning males are more commonly affected since they only have one X chromosome. Since Victoria carries the abnormal allele for hemophilia, her sons have a 50% chance of inheriting the disorder. Therefore, her oldest son, Albert, is most likely to inherit the disorder.
