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)
What else can I help you with?
What chromosome does Arthritis affect?
Arthritis does not effect a chromosome.
Because the X chromosome contains genes that are vital for normal development no baby has been born?
without an X chromosome
Is the color blindness gene also present on the Y chromosome?
No - the colour blindness gene is only found on the X chromosome.
Are sex linked traits dominent?
Some are dominant ... some of the most noteworthy negative ones: color blindness, hemophilia are recessive.
What information does linkage map provide?
the distance between genes on the same chromosome
What chromosome number is Hemophilia found on?
26
What chromosome does hemophilia come from?
The X Chromosome.
Why Males having a greater chance of hemophilia?
Hemophilia occurs in the X chromosome, and males are the genders that have the X chromosome.
Is hemophilia a defect?
Hemophilia is a genetic mutation of the sex-linked X chromosome.
What chromosomes does hemophilia occur on?
Hemophilia is a X linked recessive disorder. Usually the mother is an unaffected carrier and her son unfortunately receives the X chromosome in which hemophilia is linked to.
Explain why a woman carrying a gene for hemophlia can produce hemophilic sons when she is mated with a normal male?
A woman carrying a gene for hemophilia is typically a carrier with one X chromosome carrying the hemophilia gene and one X chromosome carrying the normal gene. When she is mated with a normal male who has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, there is a 50% chance that the son will inherit the X chromosome carrying the hemophilia gene from the mother. Since males have only one X chromosome, if they inherit the hemophilia gene, they will express the disorder.
Why is hemophilia rarely expressed in females?
Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that is X-linked, meaning it is carried on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes, so even if one carries the gene for hemophilia, the other X chromosome can usually compensate for it. In males, who only have one X chromosome, the gene for hemophilia is more likely to be expressed.
A woman is a carrier for hemophilia what is the chances for sons with hemophilia if the father does not have hemophilia?
If the mother is a carrier for hemophilia, there is a 50% chance that her sons will inherit the hemophilia gene, but only if the father does not have hemophilia. This is because sons inherit the X chromosome that carries the hemophilia gene from their mother. If the father does not have hemophilia, the son will not inherit a healthy X chromosome from him to compensate for the defective X chromosome from the mother.
Which chromosome contains the gene for hemophilia?
The X chromosome. That's why it's more common in males; females have 2 X chromosomes, but males only have 1. So if a woman has the hemophilia mutation on one of her chromosomes, she probably won't be affected by it.
Why is hemophilia considered to be a sex trait?
It is carried on the X chromosome.
Why is hemophilia considered to be a sex-linked?
It is carried on the X chromosome.
How does DNA or chromosomes cause hemophilia?
Hemophilia is caused by mutations in genes located on the X chromosome that are responsible for producing blood clotting factors. In particular, mutations in the genes for factor VIII or factor IX can lead to hemophilia A or hemophilia B, respectively. These mutations result in deficient or dysfunctional clotting factors, leading to impaired blood clotting and increased bleeding tendencies.
