Here there will be
1. 25% of women will get haemophilia.
2. 25% of women will be carriers.
3. 25% of men will get haemophilia.
4. 25% of men will be normal.
The phenotypic ratio will be 1:1:1:1
use Xh (h for haemophilia, and is a X linked and recessive hence small letter I used)
The four gametes formed are
1. Xh, Y for male
2. Xh, X for female
use these four gametes in punnet square, male gametes in a row and female gametes in a row.
Here I cannot draw the punnett square as yahooanswers do not have this facility.

Man: AA (for disease)
Woman: aA (for carrier)
You do: A A
A
a
you get: AA, AA, aA, aA
They have a 50% of having a daughter with hemophilia
Woman: aA (for carrier)
You do: A A
A
a
you get: AA, AA, aA, aA

Son or daughter doesn't matter unless one gender cant actually have the disorder. Its 3/4 because out of four options? Only one results in no disorder
