Solution
The correct option is D Colour blindness Colorblindness is an X- linked recessive disorder. One copy of the affected gene in males results in color blindness as males have a single copy of X chromosome(XcY). Females with two copies of the affected gene have the disease (XcXc). A female with a single copy of the affected gene will be a carrier. Hence it is not a Mendelian disorder. Thus the correct answer is option A.
