Dna From the Beginning: Sex Linked Hemophilia in the Royal Romanov Family

For Students 9th - 10th
An animated pedigree clearly explains the way hemophilia was inherited in the Romanov family. Interpreting pedigrees and sex-linked crosses should be much easier to understand after going through this tutorial.
