A Sex-Linked Punnett SquareHemophilia is a sex-linked, recessive trait. A non-carrier

female and a hemophiliac male want to have children…

What is the chance their child will have hemophilia?What is the chance any of their children will be carriers?What are the genotypes of the parents?What are the genotypes for a hemophiliac male? female?
