The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the inheritance of hemophilia when a hemophilic female marries a normal male, we need to understand the genetic basis of hemophilia, which is an X-linked recessive disorder. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Genotypes - A hemophilic female has the genotype **X^H X^H** (where X^H represents the hemophilic allele). - A normal male has the genotype **X Y** (where X is the normal allele and Y is the male sex chromosome). ### Step 2: Determine the Gametes - The hemophilic female can only produce gametes with the **X^H** chromosome. - The normal male can produce two types of gametes: **X** (normal) and **Y** (male). ### Step 3: Set Up a Punnett Square - We will set up a Punnett square to determine the possible genotypes of the offspring: | | X (from male) | Y (from male) | |---------|----------------|----------------| | X^H (from female) | X^H X (carrier female) | X^H Y (hemophilic male) | | X^H (from female) | X^H X (carrier female) | X^H Y (hemophilic male) | ### Step 4: Analyze the Offspring - From the Punnett square, we can see the possible genotypes of the offspring: - **50%** will be **X^H X** (carrier females) - **50%** will be **X^H Y** (hemophilic males) ### Step 5: Conclusion - The theoretical ratio of their offspring regarding hemophilia will be: - **50% of sons will be hemophilic** (X^H Y) - **100% of daughters will be carriers** (X^H X) ### Final Answer Thus, the correct answer is **50% of sons and 50% of daughters hemophilic** is incorrect; instead, **all sons will be hemophilic** and **all daughters will be carriers**.
