The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Hemophilia**: Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot properly. It is classified as a sex-linked recessive disorder, meaning the gene responsible for hemophilia is located on the X chromosome. 2. **Identifying the Chromosomal Basis**: Since hemophilia is linked to the X chromosome, it is important to understand how the X and Y chromosomes are inherited. Males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), while females have two X chromosomes (XX). 3. **Inheritance from Father to Son**: A father contributes either an X or a Y chromosome to his offspring. Sons receive a Y chromosome from their father and an X chromosome from their mother. Therefore, a father cannot pass on his X chromosome (which carries the hemophilic gene) to his son. 4. **Inheritance from Mother to Son**: A mother can pass on one of her two X chromosomes to her son. If she carries the hemophilic gene on one of her X chromosomes, she can pass that gene to her son, making it possible for a hemophilic mother to have a hemophilic son. 5. **Inheritance from Father to Daughter**: A father passes his X chromosome to his daughter. If the father has the hemophilic gene on his X chromosome, he can pass it to his daughter, which means a hemophilic father can have a hemophilic daughter. 6. **Inheritance from Mother to Daughter**: Similarly, a mother can also pass one of her X chromosomes to her daughter. If she carries the hemophilic gene, she can pass it on to her daughter as well. 7. **Conclusion**: Based on the above analysis, the hemophilic gene does not transfer from a hemophilic father to his son. Therefore, the correct answer is that the hemophilic gene does not transfer from a hemophilic father to son. **Final Answer**: The hemophilic gene does not transfer from a hemophilic father to son. ---
