Given below [A – E] are suggested causes for the genetic diseases. Select the cause as your answer for the given disease.
A. | A single nucleotide mutation results in a polar amino acid being substituted by a non-polar amino acid in the polypeptide. |

C. | X-linked recessive condition is more common in males than in females. |
D. | Caused by a primary autosomal non-disjunction event. |
E. | Caused by a non-disjunction event in sex chromosomes in either of the sexes. |

I: | In a test cross, the allele the individual in question [one that expresses the dominant phenotype] passes on, determines the phenotype of the offspring. |
II: | The homozygous recessive individual can only pass on recessive alleles. |

2. | Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I |
3. | I is correct but II is incorrect |
4. | I is incorrect but II is correct |
