Question

Identify the category of genetic disorder depicted in the pedigree chart given below:

The Correct Option is C

The disorder affects both sexes, indicative of autosomal inheritance. It appears in non-consecutive generations, suggesting recessive inheritance. Affected individuals inherit the recessive allele from carrier parents.
