All of the following statements are correct EXCEPT: The daughter inherited a recessive gene from each parent. The daughter inherited a dominant allele from her mother.

In humans, hemophilia A is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait. If a man and a woman produce a daughter who is afflicted with this disorder, which of the following must be true? Assume that one parent is afflicted and one is healthy. Select all that apply. _____________________ The mother is a carrier of hemophilia. The father is also afflicted with hemophilia. The daughter inherited a recessive gene from each parent. If the girl has children, 100% of her daughters will also be afflicted. The mother must be heterozygous. The daughter inherited a dominant allele from her mother.

Hemophilia is an x-linked recessive trait. A woman is heterozygous for this particular trait. Which of the following statements is true of the woman and her daughters with regard to hemophilia? The woman has hemophilia, and has a 100% chance of passing it to any daughters she might have. The woman has hemophilia, but cannot pass it to her daughters, only to her sons. The woman does not have hemophilia, but has a chance of passing it to her daughters. The woman does not have hemophilia, and has no chance of passing it to her daughters.
