Which of the following genetic diseases is caused by mutations in a membrane protein?
Correct answer: D. Hemolytic anemia
- A. Alzheimer's disease
- B. Parkinson's disease
- C. Anemia
- D. Hemolytic anemia
Explanation
Mutations probably include a combination of age-related changes in the brain along with genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Parkinson's disease is caused by a loss of nerve cells in the part of the brain called the substantia nigra. Dietary deficiency-lack of iron, vitamin B12, or folic acid in the diet-causes anemia.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
