D.obth the X- chromosome of mother
Solution
Haemophilic is a sex-linked disease. Gene of this disease is located on X-chromosome. In the given case where half the sons are haemophilic and half the daughters are carriers this is pos sible only when the gene responsible for haemophilia is located on one X-chromosome of mother.
