Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, meaning that an individual only needs to inherit one mutated copy of the gene to develop the condition. Tay-Sachs, sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, and phenylketonuria are all autosomal recessive disorders, meaning that an individual must inherit two mutated copies of the gene (one from each parent) to develop the condition.
