The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options are genetically transmitted diseases, we will analyze each option one by one based on the information provided in the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Color Blindness**: - Color blindness is a genetic condition caused by a defect in the gene located on the X chromosome. - In males, who have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), color blindness occurs if the X chromosome is defective (represented as XC). - In females, who have two X chromosomes (XX), color blindness occurs only if both X chromosomes are defective (XC XC). - **Conclusion**: Color blindness is a genetically transmitted disease. 2. **Identify Hemophilia**: - Hemophilia is also a genetic disorder linked to the X chromosome. - Similar to color blindness, it is a recessive condition. - Males with one defective X chromosome (XH Y) will express hemophilia, while females (XH XH) will express it only if both X chromosomes are defective. - **Conclusion**: Hemophilia is a genetically transmitted disease. 3. **Identify Muscular Dystrophy**: - Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. - The most common form, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, is also linked to the X chromosome. - **Conclusion**: Muscular dystrophy is a genetically transmitted disease. 4. **Evaluate the Options**: - A. Color blindness - Yes, genetically transmitted. - B. Hemophilia - Yes, genetically transmitted. - C. Muscular dystrophy - Yes, genetically transmitted. - D. None of these - Incorrect, as the first three options are genetically transmitted diseases. ### Final Answer: All the options A, B, and C are genetically transmitted diseases. Therefore, the correct response is that options A, B, and C are genetically transmitted diseases.
