Question
hemophilia is a disease that causes uncontrollable bleeding. if a father has it, all of his daughters will be carriers of the disease. which macromolecule is involved in how hemophilia is passed from parents to their children?
○ carbohydrate
○ lipid
○ nucleic acid
○ protein
Hemophilia is a genetic disorder, meaning it is passed down through genes. Genes are made of nucleic acids (specifically DNA, a type of nucleic acid). Carbohydrates are for energy, lipids for energy storage/structure, and proteins are products of gene expression but not the hereditary material. So nucleic acid is involved in passing hemophilia.
