Solution

Haemophilia:

  1. Haemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder.
  2. If the mother is a carrier of Haemophilia, then there is a chance that the baby will be born with Haemophilia.
  3. If there is a history of Haemophilia in the family, then there is a higher chance that the baby will have Haemophilia.
  4. Prenatal testing, in this case, is necessary.
  5. Haemophilia A and B are detected by prenatal testing chorionic villus biopsy in the first trimester by tracing the mutation or informative genetic markers.
  6. So, Haemophiliacs can have babies.Figure 2-5
