Question
hemophilia is caused by a sex - linked recessive allele. this means that ______. multiple choice females can be carriers but cannot get hemophilia a male who has hemophilia inherited the allele from his mother the gene is found on the y chromosome a male can give the allele to their son but not to their daughter a male who has hemophilia inherited the allele from his father
Sex-linked recessive alleles for conditions like hemophilia are located on the X chromosome. Males have one X (inherited from their mother) and one Y (from their father) chromosome. Since they only have one X copy, inheriting the recessive allele from their mother will result in hemophilia. Females can develop hemophilia if they inherit two copies of the recessive allele. Males cannot pass an X-linked allele to their sons (sons get the father's Y chromosome), and the gene is not on the Y chromosome.
