Solution
The correct option is A VI
Sickle cell
anaemia is an autosomal disorder. It is
the most common genetical disorder appear in Africans. The disease is due to
the substitution of sixth codon in gene coding for the b-chain of Haemoglobin. Due to this,
sixth amino acid in b-chain of Haemoglobin Glutamic acid
is replaced by valine. The main symptom of this disorder is decrease of oxygen
uptake.
So, the correct option is ‘VI’.
