Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hemophilia A is an X-linked recessive disorder, meaning that the gene associated with the condition is found on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. In order for a female to inherit hemophilia A, she must receive an affected X chromosome from both parents. Option C shows a heterozygous carrier female (XH Xh) and a normal, unaffected male (Xh Y), both of whom can pass on the affected X chromosome to their daughter. Options A, B, D, and E do not include a heterozygous carrier female parent.
