Hemophilia-Genetics

There are two types of hemophilia. there is hemophilia A and hemophilia B. They're both recessive traits. the genes are also associeted with X chromosome, which is one of the two sex chromosomes. In males (who have only one X chromosome), In females (who have two X chromosomes), Males dont have any other X chromosome to help them. If there X chromosome is effected with this disease they dont have another x chomosome to help them. Females do have another X chromosome so if they get in fected with one, then there other X chromosome can help them. The only way that a female can get this disease is if both of the chromsomes get infected, and that is very rare to happen. Because it is unlikely that females will have two copies of this gene. A characteristic of x chromosomes is that males cannot pass X traits to their sons.[]
