To solve the problem of determining the percentage possibility of a hemophilic child being born to a non-hemophilic couple, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Genetics of Hemophilia Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder. This means that the gene responsible for hemophilia is located on the X chromosome, and a male only needs one copy of the hemophilia gene (X^h) to express the disorder, while a female needs two copies (X^hX^h). ### Step 2: Determine the Genotypes of the Parents - The female parent (non-hemophilic) can either be homozygous normal (X^X^), or a carrier (X^hX). Since there is a possibility of having a hemophilic child, the female must be a carrier (X^hX). - The male parent (non-hemophilic) has the genotype XY, meaning he does not carry the hemophilia gene. ...
