Read the given paragraph and answer the question:
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. 22 pairs are exactly same in both males and females; these are the autosomes. A pair of X-chromosome are present in the female, whereas the presence of an X and Y chromosome are determinant of the male characteristic.
A number of disorders in human beings have been found to be associated with the inheritance of changed or altered genes or chromosomes. Broadly, genetic disorder may be grouped into two categories-Mendelian disorders and Chromosomal disorders.

Certain types of leukocytes (WBC) of our body like polymorpho-nuclear leukocytes (PMNL-neutrophils) and monocytes and natural killer (type of lymphocytes) in the blood as well as macrophages in tissues can phagocytose and destroy microbes. For determining the cause of allergy, the patient is exposed to or injected with very small doses of possible allergens, and the reactions studied. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy. Heroin, commonly called smack is chemically diacetylmorphine which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. This is obtained by acetylation of morphine. Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. Different species of Plasmodium (P. vivax, P. malaria and P. falciparum) are responsible for different types of malaria. Of these, malignant malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is the most serious one and can even be fatal.
