Mendelian Diseases: Identification

Mendelian inheritance refers to the pattern of inheritance of genetic traits that follows the laws of inheritance formulated by Gregor Mendel. These patterns typically involve traits controlled by a single gene and can be dominant or recessive, often following predictable ratios in offspring.

Analyzing Genetic Conditions

Let's examine each condition mentioned to see if it follows Mendelian inheritance:

  • A. Color blindness: This is typically an X-linked recessive trait. It follows a clear pattern of inheritance passed down through genes on the X chromosome, fitting Mendelian principles.
  • B. Albinism: This is usually an autosomal recessive disorder. Genes for albinism are located on autosomes (non-sex chromosomes), and its inheritance pattern is a classic example of Mendelian genetics.
  • C. Haemophilia: Similar to color blindness, haemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder. Its inheritance pattern is well-described by Mendelian laws.
  • D. Klinefelter's syndrome: This condition (XXY karyotype) is a result of a chromosomal abnormality, not a mutation in a single gene following Mendelian patterns. It's a type of aneuploidy.
  • E. Polyploidy: This refers to having more than two complete sets of chromosomes (e.g., 3n, 4n). It's a major change in chromosome number, not a trait inherited in a Mendelian fashion.

Conclusion on Mendelian Inheritance

Based on the analysis, Color blindness (A), Albinism (B), and Haemophilia (C) are diseases that follow Mendelian inheritance patterns.

Therefore, the correct option includes A, B, and C only.
