Hemophilia is a gender-linked blood disorder in humans. the gene responsible for it is gene-linked recessive, meaning it is present on the x chromosome. when the gene is present in males (xh), it always expresses itself, meaning that the male's blood won't clot properly. when present in females in a heterozygous condition (xhxh), the gene doesn’t express itself; but the female becomes a carrier, meaning that her offspring could have hemophilia.. when present in a homozygous recessive condition in females (xhxh), it expresses itself. one of every 10,000 persons is affected by this disease. what could be the allele frequency for this disease in the entire population?

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.
