chromosome are known as carriers and do not usually show evidence of having hemophilia. Because they have one normal and functioning X chromosome, it ensures that enough factor protein is produced to where there is no detectable bleeding disorder. It is possible to have a female hemophiliac if, for example, the mother was a carrier and the father was a hemophiliac. According to Katz (1970), all the sons of an affected man with a normal woman will be normal, while the daughters will be carriers. A carrier woman with a normal man has a 50% chance for the sons to have hemophilia and the daughters to be carriers.
             To know exactly how hemophilia works, one has to understand the clotting process of the blood. According to Mangrum (1975), there are thirteen contributing factors to the clotting of the blood. The coagulation of blood occurs in three phases. Platelets [blood cells] plug a severed vessel wall and initiate the formation of several clotting factors. In each phase, factors interact with another factor to ultimately produce fibrin [like woven fibers], which finalizes the production of the clot. Since there is a lack or absence of one of those factors involved in hemophilia, the
