The inheritance pattern in hemophilia is an example of:
Options

B Autosomal recessive inheritance
C X-linked recessive inheritance
Correct Answer
D Y-linked inheritance
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Hemophilia is caused by recessive alleles on the X chromosome. It is more common in males because they have only one X chromosome (XhY). Females need two copies of the allele (XhXh) to express the disorder.
