Question

Which of the following is an autosomal recessive disease?

a. Down syndrome
b. diabetes
c. polydactyly
d. hemophilia

Answer 1

Is it C?

Answer 2

The reason I pick C is because Polydactyly is where you have 5 fingers or something like that and i saw that its recessive

Answer 3

Polydactyly is an inherited condition in which a person has extra fingers or toes. It is caused by a \(\bf dominant\) allele of a gene. This means it can be passed on by just one parent if they have the disorder.

Answer 4

Dang it! would it be d?

Answer 5

Never mind its not

Answer 6

Haemophilia is a sex-linked disease and not autosomal disease.

Answer 7

So what does that mean?

Answer 8

Autosomal means it can happen to both males and females but sex linked means it can happen to only a particular sex. Haemophillia occurs in males only. Females are carriers of this disease.

Answer 9

So then its diabetes because i looked it up and it said diabetes is a recessive

Answer 10

Down Syndrome is neither recessive nor dominant. Yes it's diabetes.
