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 Hemophilia Hemophilia is an inherited genetic disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot. It is primarily an X-linked recessive disorder, meaning that the gene responsible for hemophilia is located on the X chromosome. ### Step 2: Determine the Genotypes - A hemophilic man has the genotype **XhY** (where Xh represents the X chromosome with the hemophilia allele). - A normal woman can have two possible genotypes: either **XX** (homozygous normal) or **XhX** (heterozygous carrier). For this scenario, we will consider the normal woman as **XX**. ### Step 3: Set Up a Punnett Square To find the possible offspring, we can set up a Punnett square using the genotypes of the parents: - The father (hemophilic man) can pass on either **Xh** or **Y**. - The mother (normal woman) can pass on either **X**. The combinations would be: - From father: Xh (hemophilic) or Y (normal male) - From mother: X (normal) ### Step 4: Analyze the Offspring The possible combinations from the Punnett square are: 1. Xh (from father) and X (from mother) → **XhX** (carrier girl) 2. Y (from father) and X (from mother) → **XY** (normal boy) ### Step 5: Conclusion The offspring of a hemophilic man and a normal woman will be: - Carrier girls (XhX) - Normal boys (XY) Thus, all the offspring will either be carrier girls or normal boys, but none will be hemophilic. ### Final Answer The correct option is: **All normal** (meaning the boys are normal and the girls are carriers). ---
