Question
Hemophilia disease is produced in the male by how many gene/s?
- Two gene
- Three gene
- Single gene
- Four gene
Hint:
Hemophilia is a type of monogenic genetic disorder.
The correct answer is: Single gene
Genetic disorders are classified into three types:
- Chromosomal: The structure of the chromosome is altered due to addition or deletion of genetic material
- Multifactorial: Mutation caused due to multiple factors from the environment
- Monogenic: Mutation caused due to alteration of a single gene
Hemophilia is a rare blood disorder which retards blood clotting process. The disorder is caused due to the deficiency of clotting factors VIII or IX. The gene (F8 or F9) responsible for producing clotting factors is preset in X chromosome. Hence, a single gene is only responsible for causing hemophilia.
- Genetic disorders can be chromosomal, multifactorial and monogenic
- Hemophilia is a blood disorder that delays blood clotting or hemostasis
- Blood clotting is a result of cascade of reactions done by clotting factors (1 to 12)
- Absence of clotting factor VIII or IX causes hemophilia
- Gene (F8 or F9) responsible for hemophilia is present in X chromosome
