Solution

Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disease. It is transmitted from the carrier female to her sons. From the above pedigree chart, it can be observed that the disease is being transmitted from the carrier female to her daughter (carrier) and son (affected).
The carrier daughter transmits this disease to the grandson. This pattern of inheritance is called criss-cross inheritance.
