Label all individuals with the correct genotype. If you are not certain of the gentotype, list all possible geneotypes with their associated probabilities (based on the genotypes of their parents)

### Pedigree Analysis of Hemophilia in a Family

This pedigree chart represents the inheritance pattern of hemophilia, an X-linked recessive disorder, within a family across four generations.

#### Diagram Explanation:

- **Squares** represent males.
- **Circles** represent females.
- **Shaded shapes** indicate individuals affected by hemophilia.
- **Unshaded shapes** represent unaffected individuals.

#### Generations:

- **Generation I**: 
  - Contains a married couple with no affected individuals.

- **Generation II**:
  - Consists of multiple siblings, two of whom are males affected by hemophilia (individuals II-1 and II-2).
  - The rest are unaffected males and females.

- **Generation III**:
  - Includes affected males (III-3, III-4, and III-6) and unaffected relatives.
  - Female III-5 is connected to an affected male (III-4) through marriage.

- **Generation IV**:
  - Shows descendants of III-4 and III-5, depicting several unaffected individuals.

#### Possible Genotypes:

- **Males**:
  - X\(^H\)/Y: Affected
  - X\(^+\)/Y: Unaffected

- **Females**:
  - X\(^+\)/X\(^+\): Unaffected
  - X\(^+\)/X\(^H\): Carrier (phenotypically unaffected)
  - X\(^H\)/X\(^H\): Affected

This pattern of inheritance exemplifies typical X-linked recessive traits, where males are more often affected due to having only one X chromosome. Carrier females can pass the affected gene to their offspring, potentially resulting in affected sons if they inherit the X\(^H\) chromosome.
