4) Explain why only females can be carriers of haemophilia.
Haemophilia is a sex linked recessive disease suggesting that only females can be carrier and
not males because females carry two X chromosomes and males carry only one X
chromosome. The mutation in this disease occurs in the X chromosome. As the recessive
character is only expressed when both the Alleles in a gene are mutated so females usually do
not suffer with the disease but they can be carriers that is in them one allele is normal which is
dominant and one allele is recessive which is abnormal but in males there is only one X
chromosome and if it is mutated then he would be suffering from the disease and if it is not then
he would be normal. So no carriers for male.
