Solution

Dear student.

No, typhoid is not a hereditary disease.
Typhoid is a very common bacterial disease caused by bacterium Salmonella typhi. It is transmitted by the consumption of contaminated food or water

Haemophilia and typhoid is not same type of disorder.
Hemophilia is a rare genetic disorder in which the blood does not clot properly. This means that after an injury, a person who suffers from hemophilia bleeds more than someone without hemophilia. This bleeding can damage the organs and tissues of the individual and may be life threatening.
