G-6-P dehydrogenase deficiency is associated with haemolysis of:
Correct answer: D. RBCs
- A. Leucocytes
- B. Lymphocytes
- C. Platelets
- D. RBCs
Explanation
G-6-P (Glucose-6-Phosphate) dehydrogenase deficiency is an inherited genetic disorder that affects the red blood cells (RBCs). This enzyme deficiency can lead to the destruction (hemolysis) of red blood cells under certain conditions, typically triggered by exposure to certain drugs, infections, or foods.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
