Q. No.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.

| I: | In a test cross, the allele the individual in question [one that expresses the dominant phenotype] passes on, determines the phenotype of the offspring. |
| II: | The homozygous recessive individual can only pass on recessive alleles. |

| 2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
| 3. | I is correct but II is incorrect |
| 4. | I is incorrect but II is correct |
