Statement II - The gene for normal clotting of blood in human is recessive.
In the light of above statements, select the correct option given below:
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Haemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder. Females can also suffer from haemophilia if they inherit the defective gene from both parents (i.e., they are homozygous recessive, ). Therefore, Statement I is incorrect.
The gene responsible for normal blood clotting is dominant, whereas the defective gene causing haemophilia is recessive. Therefore, Statement II is also incorrect.
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
Answer: Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.
