A woman with the genotype X^H X^h is a carrier for hemophilia but does not express the condition herself because the allele for normal clotting (X^H) is dominant over the allele for hemophilia (X^h). She has one normal X chromosome and one that carries the hemophilia allele, so she can pass on either allele to her offspring. If she has a son, he has a 50% chance of being affected by hemophilia if he inherits the X^h chromosome.
