Correct answer: B
Down’s syndrome (Mongolian Idiocy,
Mongolism) is caused by the presence of an extra
chromosome number 21. Sickle cell anaemia is not a
sex linked (i.e., X linked) disease but an autosomally
inherited recessive trait.
Haemophilia is X-linked but not holandric/Y-linked.
Parkinson’s disease is a degenerative disease. It is not
at all hereditary.
