Solution

The correct option is B A and D
  • Albinism is a condition in which body cannot produce melanin. This is a genetically inherited recessive trait. Hence, an albino couple will have albino offspring only.
  • Sickle cell anaemia is a disorder in which the RBCs become sickle-shaped. The offspring will inherit the disease if both the parents are carriers for the disease or are suffering from the disease.
  • Ebola, tuberculosis and dengue fever are not genetic disorders, they are communicable diseases.
