Which macromolecule is involved in how hemophilia is passed from parents to their children

Answer:

chromosomes

Explanation:

chromosomes which consist of genes which consist of DNA can pass on traits from parent to child.

it basically works by depending on the gender of the child it can inherit certain traits from its parents

so say the hemophilia is an XX being from the mom and to get the mutation you would need the X that has the mutation and either an X or Y from the dad.

I dont know if hemophilia affects X or Y but that is how the mutation would be passed on.
