Solution

The correct option is D Two
According to complementary base pair rule adenine pairs with thymine in DNA but in RNA it pairs with uracil because uracil is energetically less expensive to produce. Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disease. It is called so because the defective genes as well as the healthy ones corresponding those diseases are carried on heterosomes. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
