Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autosomal recessive inherited diseases are caused by two copies of a mutated gene, one inherited from each parent. Examples of such diseases include cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell disease, Tay-Sachs disease, phenylketonuria, and galactosemia. D-resistant rickets is an X-linked dominant inherited disease, which is not an example of an autosomal recessive inherited disease.
