GeneticsIn 1840, Queen Victoria and her cousin, Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg-Gotha, married. Victoria was a carrier of the haemophilia gene, from which the disease appeared among a number of their descendants from their nine children. This family tree provided a famous case history in genetics. Their nine children were four sons and five daughters: Victoria, Bertie, Alice, Alfred, Helena, Louise, Arthur, Leopold, and Beatrice. |
