The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following is not a Mendelian disorder, we will analyze each option provided in the question: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Mendelian Disorders**: - Mendelian disorders are genetic conditions that are caused by mutations in a single gene and follow Mendel's laws of inheritance. They are typically categorized into autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked inheritance patterns. 2. **Evaluate Each Option**: - **Option 1: Hemophilia**: - Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in genes responsible for blood clotting. It is a Mendelian disorder. - **Option 2: Cystic Fibrosis**: - Cystic Fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. It is also a Mendelian disorder. - **Option 3: Turner's Syndrome**: - Turner's Syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects females, characterized by the absence of one of the X chromosomes (monosomy). It is not caused by a mutation in a single gene but rather by a chromosomal abnormality. Therefore, it is not a Mendelian disorder. - **Option 4: Thalassemia**: - Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the genes that produce hemoglobin. It is classified as a Mendelian disorder. 3. **Conclusion**: - After evaluating all the options, we find that Turner's Syndrome (Option 3) is not a Mendelian disorder, while Hemophilia, Cystic Fibrosis, and Thalassemia are. ### Final Answer: - **Turner's Syndrome is not a Mendelian disorder.**
