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 chromosome does Arthritis affect?
Arthritis does not effect a chromosome.
Is the color blindness gene also present on the Y chromosome?
No - the colour blindness gene is only found on the X chromosome.
Because the X chromosome contains genes that are vital for normal development no baby has been born?
without an 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.
How does DNA or chromosomes cause hemophilia?
The "X" chromosome . . . I believe it is number 23 . . .
Is hemophilia a pattern inheritance?
Hemophilia is a sex linked gene carried in the x chromosome.
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.
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-linked?
It is carried on the X chromosome.
Why is hemophilia considered to be a sex trait?
It is carried on the X chromosome.
A recessive gene located on the X chromosome is the cause of hemophilia in affected individuals. Males are more likely to have hemophilia than females because?
Males only have one copy of the X chromosome
