Answer

Haemophilia is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in genes located on the X chromosome. Since females typically inherit two X chromosomes, the chance of both X chromosomes carrying the recessive mutation is indeed rare. Therefore, the likelihood of a female developing hemophilia is extremely low.
