Hemophilia is a disease that causes uncontrollable bleeding. If a father has it, all of his daughters will be carriers of the disease, and about half of his sons will have the disease.
An error in which macromolecule is the cause of hemophilia?
Answer (3)
Answer:
The correct answer would be nucleic acid or DNA.
It is an X-linked recessive disorder which is caused by a mutation in the gene present on X chromosome.
This mutated allele produced non-functional protein (clotting factor) due to which blood does not clot efficiently.
Consequently, the blood flows for longer time than normal.
Hemophilia is a disease caused by an error in the DNA, preventing the body from synthesizing adequate amounts of clotting factors, leading to excessive bleeding. The defective genes causing this condition are associated with the X chromosome. Treatment for hemophiliacs often involves regular infusions of clotting factors. ;
Hemophilia is a genetic disorder caused by errors in the DNA associated with and located on the X chromosome, impacting the production of blood clotting factors. Most commonly, it involves deficiencies in factor VIII (hemophilia A) or factor IX (hemophilia B), leading to excessive bleeding. Treatment typically includes infusions of these clotting factors and may include potential genetic therapies in the future.
