Question

Queen Victoria of England was
A. Haemophiliac carrier
B. Colour blind
C. AIDS patient
D. Deaf

Answer 1

This is a hereditary genetic disease that impairs the body's capacity to create blood clots, a mechanism that is required to avoid bleeding. This results in patients bleeding longer after damage, quick cracking, and an increased risk of bleeding inside the joints or brain.

Complete answer:
- Victoria was the monarch of the United Kingdom of Ireland and Great Britain as well as the empress of India. She was the last one in the House of Hanover. She gave her name to the period of the Victorian Age. The English monarchy took on a current ritual character throughout its rule.
- Queen Victoria and many of her children had a blood clotting condition called "Royal Disease"-now known as haemophilia. Haemophilia is caused by a mutation-possibly spontaneous in Victoria's case- in the X chromosome and can be passed along the maternal family line.

- Color blindness happens because we cannot see colours in a normal way. It's also known as colour deficiency. Color blindness also occurs when a person cannot differentiate between such colours. This usually occurs between the greens and the reds, and sometimes the blues.

- Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a life-threatening, chronic disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). By weakening our immune system, HIV interferes with the capacity of our body to combat infection and disease.

- Deafness is an utter failure to perceive the echo. Deafness and hearing loss have several causes which can occur at any age. People can suddenly go deaf as a virus complication or lose their hearing over time due to sickness, nerve damage, or noise-related injuries.

Thus, the correct answer is option A. i.e Haemophilia carrier.

Note: A female who inherits one of the affected X chromosomes becomes a "carrier" of haemophilia. She will pass on the affected gene to her offspring. In addition, a woman who is a carrier can often experience signs of haemophilia.
