Remember to use XX and XY when labeling.What does it mean to be a carrier?Why does Alexis have hemophilia?Is hemophilia a sex-linked disease? What does that mean and how does this pedigree show you this? ## Hemophilia in the Royal Family: A Case StudyThis educational case study illustrates the inheritance pattern of hemophilia within a segment of the royal family tree. ### Key- **Unaffected individual**: Represented by a white square (males) or circle (females).- **Carrier female**: Represented by a light pink circle.- **Individual with hemophilia**: Represented by a red square (males).### Pedigree Analysis1. **Queen Victoria** and **Albert**: - Queen Victoria is depicted as a carrier of hemophilia (light pink circle). - Albert is unaffected (white square).2. **Alice** and **Louis**: - Their daughter, Alice, also a carrier (light pink circle). - Louis is unaffected (white square).3. **Alexandra** and **Czar Nicholas II of Russia**: - Alexandra, a carrier (light pink circle), is the daughter of Alice and Louis. - Czar Nicholas II is unaffected (white square). - Their son, Alexis, is affected by hemophilia (red square).### Historical ContextThe family photograph below the pedigree chart includes prominent historical figures, illustrating the real-life impact of genetic inheritance.### Understanding Inheritance PatternsHemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder. Women, having two X chromosomes, can be carriers if only one X chromosome carries the allele for hemophilia. Men, having only one X chromosome, are affected if their single X chromosome carries the allele for hemophilia. This case study clearly shows the transmission of the hemophilia allele through carriers (females) and its manifestation in affected males.### ConclusionThe inheritance pattern of hemophilia in this royal family is a classic example of X-linked recessive disorders, demonstrating how genetic conditions can be passed through generations and the importance of genetic carriers in these patterns.
