Which statement correctly describes genetic diseases or disorders? If one inherits a gene for a specific disease, and the gene is recessive, the disease is not always present. A mutation always causes a genetic disease. Dominant genes do not carry the codes for genetic disease. If an individual inherits a gene that carries a genetic disease, it is not possible for them to pass it on to their offspring.

Monogenetic disorders are caused by a mutation in a single gene. The mutation may bepresent on one or both chromosomes (one chromosomeinherited from each parent). Examples of monogenicdisorders are: sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, polycystic kidneydisease, and Tay-Sachsdisease
