Which of the following is an example of a heredity disease?

  • (a) Polio
  • (b) Haemophilia
  • (c) Cholera
  • (d) Typhoid
  • Haemophilia is a hereditary genetic disorder caused by mutations in the genes that code for blood-clotting proteins. Haemophilia is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern, meaning the genetic trait is passed from parents to children through the X chromosome. In people suffering from the disorder, blood clotting is impaired, and this can result in excessive bleeding from minor injuries.
  • Polio: A disease caused by the poliovirus, which can be transmitted by food and water contamination or by close contact with an infected person, but not by genetics.
  • Cholera: A diarrheal disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It is a waterborne disease and can be transmitted by food and water contamination.
  • Typhoid: A serious disease caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi. Like cholera, it is transmitted by food and water contamination, but not by genetics.
