The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the offspring of a hemophilic man and a normal woman, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Genetics of Hemophilia Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder that is carried on the X chromosome. In this case, the hemophilic man has the genotype X^hY (where X^h represents the hemophilia allele) and the normal woman has the genotype X^H X^H (where X^H represents the normal allele). ### Step 2: Determine the Gametes - The hemophilic man can produce two types of gametes: X^h and Y. - The normal woman can produce two types of gametes: X^H (since both X chromosomes are normal). ### Step 3: Perform the Cross Now, we can set up a Punnett square to visualize the possible offspring: - The male gametes (from the hemophilic man): X^h and Y - The female gametes (from the normal woman): X^H and X^H The combinations from the Punnett square will be: 1. X^H X^h (female carrier) 2. X^H X^h (female carrier) 3. X^H Y (normal male) 4. X^H Y (normal male) ### Step 4: Analyze the Offspring From the combinations, we can conclude: - All daughters (X^H X^h) will be carriers of hemophilia but will not express the condition. - All sons (X^H Y) will be normal and will not have hemophilia. ### Conclusion Thus, the offspring of a hemophilic man and a normal woman will be: - All normal children (with daughters being carriers). ### Final Answer The correct option is: **All normal offspring.** ---
