Match the following Mendelian disorders with their characteristics:
Disorder Characteristics
A. Haemophilia 1. Autosomal recessive; deficiency of enzyme converting phenylalanine to tyrosine
B. Phenylketonuria 2. X-linked recessive; defect in blood clotting protein
C. Sickle-cell anaemia 3. Autosomal recessive; quantitative problem - too few globin chains synthesized

Haemophilia is an inherited  bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot normally due to lack of blood clotting proteins. This rare disease is commonly observed in human males than in females because it is caused by 
1. Y-linked recessive allele 
2. X-linked recessive allele 
3. Autosomal recessive allele 
4. X-linked dominant allele
