Solution

The correct option is A

Mendelian disorders are mainly determined by alteration or mutation in the single gene. These disorders are transmitted to the offspring from the previous generations and have dominant and recessive characteristics. Colour blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder, and sickle cell anaemia is an autosomal recessive disorder.
