Mutations in the genes for clotting factor VIII and IX cause hemophilia A and B, respectively. A woman may be heterozygous for m
utations in both genes, with a mutated factor VIII allele on one X chromosome, and a mutated factor IX allele on the other. All of her sons should have either hemophilia A or B. However, on rare occasions, one of these women gives birth to a son who does not have hemophilia, and his one X chromosome does not have either mutated allele. Explain.
A tissue is a group of similar cells that work together to do a particular job. For example, most animals have muscle tissues, which are made up of muscle cells.
