Several known single-gene disorders result from mutations of genes on the V chromosome. A.True B.False

Understand the Problem

The question is asking whether it is true or false that several known single-gene disorders result from mutations of genes on the V chromosome. It looks like it requires knowledge of genetics.

More Information

Single-gene disorders typically result from mutations in specific genes, which can be located on any chromosome, but not on an undefined 'V chromosome.' There is no known chromosome called 'V' in humans; such disorders are normally associated with autosomes or sex chromosomes (X or Y).

Tips

A common mistake is to accept the existence of a 'V chromosome,' which does not exist in human genetics.
