Hemophilia A is an X-linked trait. Assume a father does not have hemophilia (XY) and a mother is heterozygous (XX) a carrier of the hemophilia gene. What are the genotypes of the possible male offspring? What are the genotypes of the possible female offspring? What is the percent chance a male offspring could have hemophilia?
