XH Xh (carrier) ___________ 
 XH / XHXH XHXh (carrier) 
 Y /XHY XhY (has hemophilia) (healthy) 
 X represents the X chromosome and Y represents the Y chromosome which males have. H represents the dominant trait (healthy) and h represents the recessive (hemophilia)

KatieOG · Answer

The Punnett square demonstrates the inheritance patterns for hemophilia, showing potential outcomes for offspring of Patricia (a carrier) and Sam (healthy). There is a 25% chance for each type of child: healthy male, carrier female, healthy female, and male with hemophilia. This illustrates how the disorder can be passed on genetics-wise despite the parents' healthy conditions.
