Hemophilia is normally passed down from mother to son through the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes whereas males only have one. When a boy is born, he takes one X chromosome from his mother and one Y chromosome from his father.
Example One:
Mother(Carrier)+Father(Non-Affected)=50% chance of their son
acquiring the disorder and 50% chance of their daughter being a
carrier.
Example Two:
Mother(Non-Affected)+Father(Hemophiliac)=All sons will be
non-affected and all daughters will be carriers.
It is also important to note that approximately 1/3 of the cases of genetic hemophilia are results of random mutations where no prior family history existed. Of course, these new cases can pass the mutations on to their children as well.

What is the difference between Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B?
There are two types of hemophilia: hemophilia A (sometimes called classical hemophilia) and hemophilia B (sometimes called Christmas disease). Both are caused by a low level or absence of one of the proteins in the blood (called factors) that control bleeding. Hemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of factor VIII, and hemophilia B is caused by a deficiency of factor IX. There is no difference between the two types of hemophilia, except that hemophilia B is about five times less common than hemophilia A.
