The Punnett square demonstrates the inheritance patterns for hemophilia, showing potential outcomes for offspring of Patricia (a carrier) and Sam (healthy). There is a 25% chance for each type of child: healthy male, carrier female, healthy female, and male with hemophilia. This illustrates how the disorder can be passed on genetics-wise despite the parents' healthy conditions.
