    Correct
  4. Option D:

    A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

Down's syndrome is due to presence of an additional copy of chromosome number 21. Klinefelter's

syndrome is caused due to presence of an additional copy of X-chromosome. α\alpha-Thalassemia is

controlled by two closely linked genes on chromosome 16 of each parent. β\beta-Thalassemia is

controlled by a single gene HBB on chromosome 11 of each parent.
