12.

What is the basis of pleiotropy?

a)

A spontaneous mutation during the replication of DNA.

b)

Interrelationship between various metabolic pathways in the body.

13.

What is incorrect for Hemophilia?

a)

In this disease, a single protein that is a part of the cascade of proteins involved in the clotting of blood is affected
