Answer:
Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder in which a person's blood do not clots and he can bleed to death even after minor injuries because blood will keep running due to a small cut.
It is a recessive trait which means that even if one normal gene is present along with Hemophiliac gene, the person will not have the disease and he will be the carrier.
Question: What will be their children’s possible phenotypes?
If a woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a hemophiliac man, their genotypes can be denotes as :
Here H, indicate normal gene and small h indicate defected (hemophilia) gene.
Parents: XHXh X XhY
Offspring: XHXh : XHY: XhXh: XhY
Phenotype of offspring:
XHXh: The child will be daughter and normal (25 % chances)
XHY: The child will be son and normal (25 % chances)
XhXh: The child will be girl and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)
XhY: The child will be son and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)

A vaccine works by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies without actually infecting someone with that disease. They trigger the immune system to produce its own antibodies as though the body has been infected with the disease. But a vaccine will not make someone immune to a disease, it will simply help the body be able fight the infection better.
