Parents of a child with hemophilia want to have a second child. Genetic testing is recommended because:
1. The disease is carried by a dominant X-linked gene.
2. The disease is a mutation and has a low occurrence with subsequent pregnancies.
3. The X-linked recessive trait must be present in both parents, and a subsequent child may have the same disorder.
4. The Y-linked recessive trait causes the disease to occur and will happen in subsequent pregnancies.
