NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2022

Solution:

The autosomal disorder is when the affected gene is located on the autosomes (chromosome other than sex chromosome). If the disorder is expressed only in homozygous condition, it is termed recessive autosomal disorder. Cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell anaemia, phenylketonuria are examples of autosomal recessive diseases.
Myotonic dystrophy is an autosomal dominant disorder.
