What is incorrect for Hemophilia?

1. In this disease, a single protein that is a part of the cascade of proteins involved in the clotting of blood is affected.
2. In an affected individual, a simple cut will result in non-stop bleeding.
3. The heterozygous female (carrier) for haemophilia may transmit the disease to her sons.
4. The possibility of a female becoming haemophilic is extremely rare because the mother of such a female has to be hemophilic and the father should be a carrier.
