Hemophilla is a genetic disease that has plagued the royal household of Europe. The disease alle is recessive and X-linked. Queen Victoria was a carrier and her grand daughter Alexandria married Nicholas II the last czar of Imperial Russia. Alexandria was a carrier of Hemophilla; Nicholas was normal. There son Alexis was afflisted with the disease. Alexis and his four sisters were killed in 1917 it is most likely that:
