The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the genetic disorders Phenylketonuria, Huntington's disease, and sickle-cell anemia, we need to identify the chromosomes associated with each condition. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Phenylketonuria (PKU)**: - Phenylketonuria is caused by a mutation in the PAH gene, which is responsible for the metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine. - This gene is located on **chromosome 12**. 2. **Identify Huntington's Disease**: - Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a mutation in the HTT gene. - This gene is located on **chromosome 4**. 3. **Identify Sickle-Cell Anemia**: - Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the HBB gene, which encodes the beta-globin subunit of hemoglobin. - This gene is located on **chromosome 11**. 4. **Compile the Findings**: - Phenylketonuria - Chromosome 12 - Huntington's Disease - Chromosome 4 - Sickle-Cell Anemia - Chromosome 11 5. **Match with Given Options**: - The correct order of chromosomes associated with the disorders is: - Phenylketonuria (12), Huntington's Disease (4), Sickle-Cell Anemia (11). - Therefore, the correct option is **D: Chromosome 12, 4, and 11**. ### Final Answer: The disorders are caused respectively due to disorders associated with **Chromosome 12, 4, and 11**. ---
