Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant disorder, meaning a person only needs to inherit one copy of the mutated gene from either parent to develop the disease. Phenylketonuria, sickle-cell disease, and Tay-Sachs disease are all autosomal recessive disorders, meaning a person must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to develop the disease.
