Answer / baba_mailme
A hemophilic father will always have daughter with carrier
of that gene if he marries a normal woman.When the daughter
(carrier of the gene) marries a normal man, the chances
their children will be hemophiliac is 50%. 1 daughter will
be normal and other will be the carrier of the gene, though
phenotypically both will be alike. and 1 son will be
hemophiliac and other will be normal
