Anemia is a generic term referring to "inadequate oxygen capacity in the blood"; anemia can be caused by anything from excessive blood loss to parasites on the red blood cells to inadequate red blood cell formation in the bone marrow. Hemophilia is a more specific term referring to "inadequate blood clotting capacity"; there are multiple types of hemophilia but they are all bleeding disorders. It is very common for people with hemophilia to develop anemia. However, very few people who have anemia also have hemophilia.

What is the main difference between hemophilia and sickle cell anemia in the way in which it is inherited?
Hemophilia is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern, meaning it primarily affects males who inherit the affected X chromosome from their carrier mother. Sickle cell anemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning both parents must pass on a mutated gene for the child to develop the condition regardless of gender.

What is the difference between Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B?
There are two types of hemophilia: hemophilia A (sometimes called classical hemophilia) and hemophilia B (sometimes called Christmas disease). Both are caused by a low level or absence of one of the proteins in the blood (called factors) that control bleeding. Hemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of factor VIII, and hemophilia B is caused by a deficiency of factor IX. There is no difference between the two types of hemophilia, except that hemophilia B is about five times less common than hemophilia A.
Is anemia a genetic disorder?
Anemia can have genetic components, such as sickle cell anemia or thalassemia, but it can also be caused by other factors like nutritional deficiencies or chronic diseases. So, anemia can be genetic but not always.
Is hemophilia a condition in which blood cells will not carry oxygen?
no.. it's sickle cell anemia due to defective hemoglobin which carries oxygen
What is the difference between iron-deficiency anemia and pernicious anemia?
The main difference is that Iron-Deficiency Anemia is caused by lack of iron, and therefore low haemaglobin levels. Pernicious anamia is caused by a lack of vitimin B12 which aids the production and growth of red blood cells, therefore lowering the haemaglobin level, and both would have a lowered hematocrit level.
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.
