if 1/100 of males have hemophilia then it means the prevalence of the gene is 1/100 too.

For a female to be inflicted it needs to be 1/100*1/100 and so it should be 1/10000

meghana, that answer is rite if the wording of question were "if prevalance of the haemophilia is 1/100 in males,what will be prevalance of affected females?"
there was an additional word of "affected males" in ur wording that created the confusion. i hope im rite in guessing the wording u wanted to put here
