Skin cells, I think. Hemophilia is when you can't heal outside wounds so I'm
pretty sure it's skin.
The person lacks certain protein for clotting factors. Platelets are used to clot the blood and make a person stop bleeding. Bleeding can occur internally as well as externally.
Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that affects blood clotting. It is not a condition that infects a specific type of cell in the body. Instead, it is caused by a deficiency in specific clotting proteins, such as factor VIII or factor IX, which are involved in the blood clotting process.

Is Hemophilia mutated allele that produces a defective form of the protein hemoglobin?
No, hemophilia is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in genes that affect blood clotting factors, not hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Hemophilia is caused by mutations in genes that affect blood clotting proteins, leading to prolonged bleeding.
Hemophilia is caused by a defiency of what clotting factor?
Hemophilia is caused by a deficiency of clotting factor VIII (hemophilia A) or clotting factor IX (hemophilia B).
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.
What are the statistics of hemophilia in England?
50 million ppl have hemophilia
Is hemophilia contageous?
No, Hemophilia is a genetic disease. A person is born with it.
Why do people with hemophilia run the risk of having hepatitis?
Not all people with Hemophilia have AIDS or HIV. Due to very lax screening in blood/plasma collection centers and inadequate screening and purification on the manufacturing ends during the 1980s many hemophiliacs were infected with HIV by the medications used to treat hemophilia. Roughly 50% of the hemophilia population (or 10,000 individuals) in the United States were infected during the 1980s in this manner. Today, the number of people with hemophilia in the united states is estimated to be roughly 20,000. Approximately 2500 of the original 10,000 infected hemophilia patients are still alive. Looking at the numbers today, this means that only 12.5% of the hemophilia population has HIV and/or AIDS.
Are people with Hemophilia prevented of getting Malaria?
No, hemophilia does not confer an advantage against malaria. People with sickle-cell anemia do have an immunity, of sorts.
Can a person have both sickle cell and hemophilia diseases at the same time?
Yes, Sickle cell affects the red blood cells while hemophilia is a condition where an extracellular protein is deficient in the person's blood.
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the?
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the host cell. The virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce more virus particles.
Hemophilia is a sex linked recessive disorder Mary does not have the disease but both of her brothers do Neither of her parents have the disease What are Marys parents genotypes indicates pr?
Mary's father is normal and has a normal genotype XY while her mother is the carrier of hemophilia and has one X of her genotype infected i.e. she is X*X.
What is a blood disease?
Examples: anemia, hemophilia, sickle-cell disease, leukemia, thalassemia, etc.
Does a virus use ATP?
no, that is supplied by the infected cell.
Hemophilia is caused by a mutated allele that produces a defective form of the protein hemoglobin?
False, Sickle Cell Disease :))
What is a disease in which the blood does not clot normally?
Hemophilia is one disease in which blood does not clot normally. von Willebrand's Disease
What do you call a cell that has been infected with a virus?
It is called a host cell. The virus attaches to the cell and injects its DNA into the cell. The virus's DNA overruns the "instructions" that the cell has and "tells" the cell to make copies of the virus using the DNA. Then the cell makes so many copies of the virus, that it explodes. The new viruses then go on to attach to other cells.
Will hemophilia deteriorate your body?
Hemophilia itself does not deteriorate a person's body. If left untreated, frequent bleeding into joints such as ankles, elbows and knees can lead to joint damage and cartilage deterioration. Due to the contamination of the blood supply and unsafe production methods for the hemophilia medications pre 1993, many hemophiliacs were infected with agents such as Hepatitis C and HIV. These viruses can lead to deterioration of the liver and imune systems.
A hereditary bleeding disorder that results from lack of clotting factors?
Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder where a person lacks certain clotting factors, such as Factor VIII or Factor IX. This can result in prolonged bleeding and difficulty forming blood clots, leading to potential serious complications if not managed properly. Treatment often involves replacing the missing clotting factors through infusions.
