(1) Which parent is affected

(2) Which chain of haemoglobin molecule is affected

(3) How much a chain is affected

(4) Which gender is showing the disease

Alpha Thalassemia is controlled by ------- on chromosome number----

(1) Linked gene, 11

(2) Linked gene, 16

(3) Unlinked gene, 11

Which of the following statements is wrong with respect to beta Thalassemia?

1. Controlled by a single gene.
2. Gene involved is HBA1
3. Gene involved is present on chromosome number 11
4. Occurs due to mutation

The genes which are involved in alpha Thalassemia are---- and ----- while in beta thalassemia are----.

(1) HBA1, HBB, HBA2

(2) HBB1 HBB2 HBA

(3) HBB1 HBA HBB2

(4) HBA1 HBA2 HBB

Find the correct match-

1. Alpha Thalassemia- 11^th chromosome
2. Beta chromosome- 16^th chromosome’
3. Alpha Thalassemia- linked genes
4. Thalassemia- Qualitative trait

Assertion : Phenylketonuria is a recessive hereditary disease caused by the body’s failure to oxidize an amino acid phenylalanine to tyrosine, because of a defective enzyme.

Reason : It results in the presence of phenylalanine acid in the urine.
