Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that can be inherited from one of the parents or both. If the father has hemophilia and the mother is not a carrier of the hemophilia gene, each son has a 0% chance of inheriting the condition. However, each daughter has a 100% chance of being a carrier of the hemophilia gene. What type of inheritance pattern is shown by this condition?
