Female carrier (heterozygous)

Detailed explanation-1: -A half-filled circle shows a heterozygous female for the disease allele or alleles and a half-filled square indicates a heterozygous male for the trait. These heterozygous individuals are known as carriers of the particular disease allele or trait.
Detailed explanation-2: -A half-shaded circle or square indicates that a person is a carrier of the trait. A completely shaded circle or square indicates that a person expresses the trait. A circle or square that is not shaded indicates that a person neither expresses the trait nor is a carrier of the trait. A black X. represents.
Detailed explanation-3: -Females that inherit the gene will be carriers and may pass the gene to their children. Males that inherit the gene will have hemophilia. Males 16, 10, 5, and 8 did not inherit the gene. It is not known if females with ?’s are carriers or not.
Detailed explanation-4: -Homozygous. Having two identical alleles for a particular gene. Heterozygous. Having two different alleles for a particular gene.
