Given below are two statements. Statement I - Only males can suffer from haemophilia. Statement II - The gene for normal clotting of blood in human is recessive. In the light of above statements, select the correct option given below:

Step-by-step solution

Haemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder. Females can also suffer from haemophilia if they inherit the defective gene from both parents (i.e., they are homozygous recessive, X^h X^h ). Therefore, Statement I is incorrect. The gene responsible for normal blood clotting is dominant, whereas the defective gene causing haemophilia is recessive. Therefore, Statement II is also incorrect. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect. Answer: Both statement I and statement II are incorrect.
