Identify the incorrectly matched pair regarding the Mendelian disorders:

1. Sickle cell anemia: a single base substitution at the sixth codon of the beta-globin gene
2. Phenylketonuria: an inborn error of metabolism due to the lack of an enzyme that converts tyrosine to phenylalanine
3. Beta thalassemia: the gene involved is a single gene located on chromosome 11
4. Hemophilia: a sex-linked recessive trait extremely rare in females

Consider the following statements:

I: People affected by phenylketonuria are unable to convert tyrosine to phenylalanine.
II: Alzheimer’s disease results from the accumulation of amyloid protein plaques in the brain.
