Summary Introduction
To explain: The probability of the first male child of a woman unaffected by hemophilia A but had a father with hemophilia A and marries a man with hemophilia A.
Introduction: Hemophilia A is an X-linked homozygous recessive genetic disorder. Probability in genetics is used to determine the outcome of genotypes of offspring and the probability of its occurrence when parent genotypes are known.
