The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to evaluate each statement regarding genetic disorders and determine which ones are correct. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate Statement I: Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disease.** - Haemophilia is indeed a sex-linked recessive disorder, primarily affecting males. It is caused by mutations in genes located on the X chromosome. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Evaluate Statement II: Down's syndrome is due to aneuploidy.** - Down's syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21, occurs due to the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21, which is a form of aneuploidy (an abnormal number of chromosomes). Hence, this statement is also **correct**. 3. **Evaluate Statement III: Phenylketonuria is an autosomal recessive gene disorder.** - Phenylketonuria (PKU) is caused by a mutation in the PAH gene located on chromosome 12 and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Thus, this statement is **correct**. 4. **Evaluate Statement IV: Sickle-cell anaemia is an X-linked recessive gene disorder.** - Sickle-cell anaemia is caused by a mutation in the HBB gene on chromosome 11 and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, not X-linked. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: The correct statements are I, II, and III. Thus, the answer to the question is that statements I, II, and III are correct. ### Final Answer: The correct statements are: - (I) Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disease. - (II) Down's syndrome is due to aneuploidy. - (III) Phenylketonuria is an autosomal recessive gene disorder.
