Vedclass · Answer

(C) Pleiotropy is a genetic phenomenon where a single gene influences multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits.In $Sickle 	ext{ } cell 	ext{ } anaemia$, the mutation in the $Hb^S$ gene leads to the production of abnormal haemoglobin, which causes red blood cells to become sickle-shaped.This single gene mutation results in various clinical manifestations, such as anaemia, organ damage, and increased resistance to malaria, making it a classic example of pleiotropy.
