The incorrect statement with regard to Haemophilia is :[NEET 2013]a)It...
Haemophilia is a genetic disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot properly. It is caused by a deficiency in one of the clotting factors, which are proteins in the blood that help to stop bleeding. Haemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder, which means that it is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome and is more common in males than females.
Incorrect statement: Haemophilia is a dominant disease.
Explanation:
- A dominant disease is one in which a single copy of the mutated gene is enough to cause the disorder.
- Haemophilia is a recessive disease, which means that two copies of the mutated gene are necessary to cause the disorder.
- If a woman carries one copy of the mutated gene, she is a carrier and can pass it on to her children, but she is not affected by the disorder herself.
- If a man has the mutated gene on his X chromosome, he will have haemophilia because he only has one X chromosome.
In summary, the correct statement with regard to Haemophilia is that it is a recessive, X-linked disorder caused by a deficiency in one of the clotting factors.
