2. | It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. |
3. | The affected individual lacks an enzyme that converts the amino acid tyrosine into phenylalanine. |
4. | Accumulation of phenylpyruvic acid in brain results in mental retardation. |
Statement I: | Thalassemia is a qualitative problem of synthesising an incorrectly functioning globin. |

2. | Linkage | Drosophila |
3. | Incomplete dominance | Antirrhinum |
4. | Pleiotropy | Phenylketonuria |
Assertion (A): | Accumulation of phenylalanine in the brain results in mental retardation in Phenylketonuria. |
Reason (R): | The affected person lacks phenylalanine which is therefore not converted to tyrosine. |
