Any? As in 100%? That seems unlikely.
A male will always transmit the disease to his female offspring
it has to do with the xy chromosome. The gene for hemophilia is on the x leg of the chromosome. Since boys have xy, there is only one copy of the gene and so the defective one is used
Girls inherit two copies of the gene. One from their mother and one from their father. Unless both are carriers, they will have one good copy and be carriers but not get the disease
Since the father has only the defective gene, he must pass it on to his female offspring.
He cannot pass the gene to his male offspring as it is on his defective x chromosome which is not passed to males
