Answer: The chances are: 1:2 or 50%
Explanation: The chances of the offspring inheriting hemophilia would be 1:2 or 50%, as Mrs. Villaruz's infected x chromosome could be passed down to a female or male child, with 2 of the four total possible outcomes including the infected X chromosome of Mrs. Villaruz.
