it is very very very rare. boys usually get it and there mothers are the carriers which means the boys get it from there mother. other examples of this are male patterned baldness, color blindness, and calico cats are only male. there called sex linked traits.

∙ 13y agoIt is possible yes, but highly unlikley. There have only been a couple of cases of female hemophilics. These were the products of cousin marriages with both mother and father bringing the resessive gene to the child. In all known cases the girl died in puberty when she started to menstrate.

∙ 11y agoYes, females can have hemophilia.
Many "carriers" frequently have below normal clotting factor levels and should be considered mild or moderate hemophiliacs.
It is also possible (albeit rare) for a female to have mutations for hemophilia on both of her X chromosomes, leading to clotting factor levels ranging from mild to severe.

∙ 13y agoIt is possible for a women to be born with hemophilia but it is very rare. Alexi, Anastasia's brother had hemophilia.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes, because being a female will not prevent a person from being a hemophiliac. And its not contagious, so "getting" hemophilia is probably caused by something of a genetic nature.

Can a girl have hemophilia?
Yes females can have hemophilia. Although very rare it has been recorded. A female can get hemophilia if her mother is a carrier and her father has it. Like I said, It doesn't happen often but is possible.
Will a heterozygous female with hemophilia have blood that will clot normally?
Yes, because Hemophilia is recessive (if you have a normal allele, you won't have hemophilia, and heterozygous means that you have one normal and one abnormal allele).
What chromosome number is hemophilia on?
Hemophilia is a Sex-linked genetic disorder. It is found on the X chromosome of chromosome 23.A carrier for Hemophilia(represented by H(dominant) or h(recessive)) would look like this:XHXh(Female)*Males are not carriers for hemophilia-They are either affected or they're not*An affected person would look like this:XhXh(Female) XhY(Male)Someone who is neither a carrier nor affected would look like this:XHXH(Female) XHY(Male)
How can a lady have hemophilia will it effect menstrual period?
Normally a woman is only a carrier of hemophilia, but if her mother is a carrier and her father has hemophilia the female does have a chance to get it. It is very rare for this to happen but It has been recorded.
A woman with hemophilia and a man without hemophilia are expecting a baby boy what are the chances that their son will also have hemophilia?
If the female has what is classically defined as female hemophilia (carries the mutation on both of her X chromosomes), then all sons she would have would also have hemophilia. All of the woman's daughters would also inherit the gene, however since they would also be getting a normal X chromosome from their father, they would not, themselves, have hemophilia under the classical definition. Today, it is understood that even carrying the trait on a single X chromosome can reduce a female's factor levels and give cause for doctors to diagnose her with hemophilia. Thus if you are simply looking at genetics (which you probably are) then the answer is all of her sons would have it and all of her daughters would be carriers. Therefore, since there is a 50-50 chance the first child bore would be a male, and a 50-50 chance it would be a female, the chance that their first child born would have hemophilia is 50%.
Why diseases such as hemophilia affects the males more than female?
Derek bevan is fat
Why is it unlikely that natural selection will quickly reduce the frequency of hemophilia?
While the condition affects the males, it is CARRIED by the females, who do not suffer the effects of hemophilia, and can pass the disorder to THEIR female offspring.
What is a carrier for hemophilia?
A carrier for hemophilia refers to a female that has the genetic mutation for the disorder on one of her two X chromosomes. This means that she can pass the mutation on (with a 50% chance) to her children.
Does a human offspring inherit hemophilia from the mother or father?
Hemophilia is sex linked. Males inherit from their mother, daughters are carriers if the defective gene is inherited from one of either parent. A female must inherit two copies of the defective allele to have hemophilia .
What do you get when you cross a male hemophiliac with a female hemophiliac?
The gene for hemophilia A is found on the X chromosome (it is a sex-linked recessive disorder). Women have two X chromosomes and men have one X chromosome. A woman with hemophilia (very rare) would have the mutated gene on both of her X chromosomes. This means that all of their children, both male and female would have hemophilia.
Why is hemophilia more common in males than women?
this disease is caused by a recessive allele that is found only on the x chromosome. a human female has two x chromosomes. a human male only has 1 x chromosome. therefore, a male needs only one recessives allele to have hemophilia, while a female needs two recessive allele. as a result, hemophilia is much more common in males.
How does hemophilia progress?
Hemophilia is a recessive allele condition. Men can get hemophilia alot easier than women as the allele is found on the XY Chomosome pair. With men. they do not have the extra "tail" on the Y chromosome compared to the XX with a female. If the person has the recessive allele on the X chromosome and this person is male, they will be a hemophiliac as they do not have a 'pair' allele which could be dominant to stop the condition expressing itself. On a female, if there is a recessive (hemophilia) allele on one of the X chromosomes but on the other is a Dominant (normal) allele then she will be a carrier of the faulty gene but will not suffer from the condition herself. If the female have a recessive (faulty) gene on each of the XX chromosomes, then she will be a sufferer of the disease.
