thrombocytopenia results from insufficient amount of platelets and its caused by anything that suppresses the bone marrow such as bone marrow cancer, radiation, and certain drugs.

whereas hemophilia is a genetic disease and is the lack of any factors needed for clotting.

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.

What is the difference between anemia and hemophilia?

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.

Why is there a difference in the number of alleles for hemophilia and redgreen colorblindness between males and females?

The difference in the number of alleles for hemophilia and red-green colorblindness between males and females is due to the inheritance pattern of these genetic conditions. Hemophilia and red-green colorblindness are carried on the X chromosome. Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, so they only need one copy of the gene to express the condition. Females have two X chromosomes, so they need two copies of the gene to express the condition.
