Given below [A – E] are suggested causes for the genetic diseases. Select the cause as your answer for the given disease.
| A. | A single nucleotide mutation results in a polar amino acid being substituted by a non-polar amino acid in the polypeptide. |
| B. | Autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism where mutation renders a key enzyme involved in amino acid metabolism non-functional. |
| C. | X-linked recessive condition is more common in males than in females. |
| D. | Caused by a primary autosomal non-disjunction event. |
| E. | Caused by a non-disjunction event in sex chromosomes in either of the sexes. |
