Journal Entry:

In humans, the allele for normal blood clotting, H, is dominant to the allele for hemophilia, h. This is a sex-linked trait found on the X chromosome. A woman with normal blood clotting has four children: a normal son, a hemophiliac son, and two normal daughters. The father has normal blood clotting. What is the genotype for each member of the family?
