Pedigree analysis is used for genetic analysis in humans rather than conventional genetic methods because:

I: Choice matings are not possible.
II: The number of progeny is limited. 

Of the two statements:

1. Only I is correct 2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct 4. Both I and II are incorrect

In sickle cell anaemia, the mutant haemoglobin molecule undergoes:

1. Polymerisation under low oxygen tension causing changes in the shape of the RBC to a sickle-like structure
2. Depolymerisation under low oxygen tension causing that changes the shape of the RBC to a sickle-like structure
3. Denaturation under high oxygen tension causing changes in the shape of the RBC to a sickle-like structure
4. Denaturation
