CBSE Class 12-science Answered

Why is it that the father never passes on the gene for haemophilia to his sons? Explain.

Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disease. The defective gene is present on the X chromosome only and not on the Y chromosome. As the father always contributes a Y chromosome and never passes an X chromosome to his son, the gene for haemophilia can never be passed from a father to his son.
