Solution

The correct option is A a-3, b-1, c-5, d-2, e-4
  • Genes responsible for the most common, inherited colour blindness are on the X chromosome.
  • Sickle cell disease is caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin-Beta gene found on chromosome 11.
  • PKU is an autosomal recessive disorder, caused by mutations in both alleles of the gene for phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), found on chromosome 12.
  • Huntington's disease is a progressive brain disorder caused by a single defective gene on chromosome 4.
  • Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease caused by mutations (changes) in a gene on chromosome 7.

So, the correct answer is 'a-3, b-1, c-5, d-2, e-4'.
