Q. No.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 |
