Textbook Question
Chapter 29, Problem 25RQ
Hemophilia A, a condition in which blood does not clot properly, is a recessive trait located on the X chromosome (Xh). Suppose that a woman who is heterozygous for this trait (XXh) has children with a normal male (XY). What is the probability that the couple will have daughters with hemophilia? What is the probability that the couple will have sons with hemophilia?
