Answer:

Because hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.

Explanation:

As the problem states, hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.

  • Meaning that in Queen Victoria's female descendants (coded XX) which inherited the Queen's one allele, for hemophilia to appear in them it would be necessary to inherit another hemophillia-carrying allele from the father.
  • The Queen's male descendants (coded XY) would always manifest hemophilia if they inherited the Queen's hemophilia allele, as they possesed only one X gene.

Some organisms are made of cells. TRUE or FALSE.
marusya05 [52]
<span>Yes, all living organisms are made of at least one cell (cell theory). But, remember, viruses and prions, which cause diseases, are not technically living things, and they are NOT made of cells. Also, if asked a question similar to this on a biology test, the teacher may be trying for an answer similar to: "Organisms are made of different organ systems, which are made of various related organs, which are made of different tissues working together, which are made of cells". </span>
