The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the listed disorders is not a Mendelian disorder, we need to analyze each option based on its genetic basis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mendelian Disorders**: - Mendelian disorders are those that follow the inheritance patterns described by Gregor Mendel. They are typically caused by mutations in a single gene and can be classified as autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or sex-linked. 2. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **(I) Turner's Syndrome**: This is a chromosomal disorder caused by the absence of one X chromosome (45 chromosomes instead of the usual 46). It is not caused by a single gene mutation but rather by a chromosomal anomaly. Therefore, it is not a Mendelian disorder. - **(II) Colour-blindness**: This is a sex-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in genes located on the X chromosome. It follows Mendelian inheritance patterns. - **(III) Cystic fibrosis**: This is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the CFTR gene on chromosome 7. It follows Mendelian inheritance patterns. - **(IV) Myotonic dystrophy**: This is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the DMPK gene. It also follows Mendelian inheritance patterns. 3. **Conclusion**: - Among the options provided, Turner's syndrome is the only one that is not a Mendelian disorder because it is a chromosomal disorder rather than a genetic disorder caused by a single gene mutation. ### Final Answer: **(I) Turner's syndrome** is not a Mendelian disorder. ---
