ACTIVITY 1. CASE ANALYSIS Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder characterized by slow blood clotting process. People with this
condition experience prolonged bleeding following an injury, surgery, or having a tooth pulled. In
severe cases, bleeding occurs after minor trauma or even without an injury. Hemophilia is an inherited
disorder
Discover how this trait is inherited as you go through this module. For your inquiry, consider this
case:
N. T. is a healthy 38-year-old woman married to a healthy 40-year-old man. Their first child is a boy
with hemophilia. Their second child is a girl who is normal. Their youngest is another boy, again with
hemophilia
N. T. had a maternal uncle who had died in childhood from hemophilia and a brother who had bleeding
problems as a child but these were resolved during his adolescence.

Process Questions:

1. Is there an obvious pattern in the cases of hemophilia presented in the given situation?
2. Is there any irregularity in the inheritance of hemophilia in N. T.'s family? Why or why not?
