Solution
The correct option is B 0% Haemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder. Since father transmits its X chromosome to the daughters, not to son, so the haemophilic father would not affect the disease inheritance of his son. Son receives its X chromosome from mother which means that the mother should have at least one copy of affected allele to transmit the disease to her son. Mother with both normal copies of X-chromosome will have all normal sons.
