The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that Queen Victoria's family pedigree shows a number of hemophilic descendants because she was a carrier of the disease. - This is true. Queen Victoria was indeed a carrier of hemophilia, which she passed on to some of her descendants, particularly her male offspring. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason provided claims that hemophilia is a sex-linked dominant disease. - This is false. Hemophilia is actually a sex-linked recessive disease, which means that it is carried on the X chromosome and primarily affects males. 3. **Analyzing the Genetics**: - In females (XX), if one X chromosome carries the hemophilia gene, they can be carriers without expressing the disease because they have a second normal X chromosome. - In males (XY), having one X chromosome with the hemophilia gene will result in the expression of the disease since they do not have a second X chromosome to mask the recessive allele. 4. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is true because Queen Victoria did have hemophilic descendants as she was a carrier. - The reason is false because hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disease, not dominant. - Therefore, the correct answer is that the assertion is true, but the reason is false. ### Final Answer: - The assertion is true, and the reason is false.
