Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Inherited disorders are caused by mutations in genes that are passed down from parents to offspring. They can be caused by both dominant and recessive alleles, but they are relatively rare compared to disorders caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Inherited disorders do tend to run in families, as they are passed down through generations.
