Answer 1

Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

Haemophilia is a recessive X-linked disorder, and it results from a deficiency of a blood-clotting factor. The clotting-factor deficiency explains the bleeding symptoms, not why the inheritance is sex-linked and recessive.
