Question:
Thalassemia and sickle cell anemia are caused due to a problem in globin molecule synthesis. Select the correct statement :
Thalassemia and sickle cell anemia are caused due to a problem in globin molecule synthesis. Select the correct statement :
Updated On: Jul 20, 2024
- Both are due to a quantitative defect in globin chain synthesis
- Thalassemia is due to less synthesis of globin molecules
- Sickel cell anemia is due to a quantitative problem of globin molecules
- Both are due to a qualitive defect in globin chain synthesis
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Thalassemia differs from sickle-cell anaemia in that
the former is a quantitative problem of synthesising too few globin molecules while the latter is a qualitative problem of synthesising an incorrectly functioning globin.
the former is a quantitative problem of synthesising too few globin molecules while the latter is a qualitative problem of synthesising an incorrectly functioning globin.

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

Mendelian Disorders
Mendelian Disorder is a type of genetic disorder that is caused due to alterations in one gene or abnormalities in the genome. These disorders can be seen since birth and can be deduced using the Pedigree Analysis.
