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.
Can a artery be fixed after its cut if so how?
Yes, The white blood cells and platlets will clot the cut if pressure is applied to the cut. unless internal or if you have hemophilia.
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?
Because hemophilia is a disease linked to a recessive gene on the X-chromosome, females have another X-chromosome to block out the diseased one. However, males have only one X-chromosome, so they are more often subject to hemophilia.
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.
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.
