Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder (the gene locus is on the X-chromosome), in which the blood of the affected individual clots very slowly. If a male with hemophilia married an unaffected female who possessed a homozygous genotype, what proportion of their children would be affected with hemophilia?'
