The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Which of the following is a quantitative disease caused due to mutation of chromosome 11?", we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Diseases Listed**: The options given are: - Option 1: Sickle Cell Anemia - Option 2: Phenylketonuria - Option 3: Alpha Thalassemia - Option 4: Beta Thalassemia 2. **Determine the Chromosomal Mutation**: - **Sickle Cell Anemia**: Caused by a mutation in the beta-globin gene located on chromosome 11. - **Phenylketonuria**: Caused by a mutation in the PAH gene, which is not located on chromosome 11. - **Alpha Thalassemia**: Caused by mutations on chromosome 16, not chromosome 11. - **Beta Thalassemia**: Caused by mutations in the beta-globin gene, which is also located on chromosome 11. 3. **Classify the Diseases**: - **Sickle Cell Anemia**: This is a qualitative disease because it results from the synthesis of an abnormal form of hemoglobin (HbS). - **Phenylketonuria**: This is a metabolic disorder but is not classified as quantitative or qualitative in the same context as the others. - **Alpha Thalassemia**: This is a quantitative disease, but it is not caused by a mutation on chromosome 11. - **Beta Thalassemia**: This is a quantitative disease characterized by reduced synthesis of beta-globin chains due to mutations on chromosome 11. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the classification and the location of the mutations, the disease that is both quantitative and caused by a mutation on chromosome 11 is **Beta Thalassemia**. ### Final Answer: **Beta Thalassemia** is the quantitative disease caused due to mutation of chromosome 11. ---
