QUESTION

Hemophilia B is a recessive genetic disorder passed through the X chromosome (X HB ).

Hemophilia B is a recessive genetic disorder passed through the X chromosome (XHB). Due to being an X-linked disorder females are considered carriers if they have the mutation on one chromosome, due to having two X chromosomes the none mutated chromosome masks the mutated one. Often female carriers are not affected by the disorder. However if males have the mutation on their X chromosome, since their second sex chromosome is a Y chromosome males will present with the disorder. What are the probabilities for offspring to be a carrier, have the disorder, or not have the mutation at all in a couple where the wife is a carrier for hemophilia B (XXHB), the husband does not have the mutation (XY). 

I want to understand what this means and how does this solution for both the percent possible for genotype/phenotype?
