Answer 1

Answer:

C. Thalassemia, Haemophilia

Autosome linked recessive disease : Thalassemia

Sex linked recessive disease : Haemophilia

- Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning it is caused by a mutation in a gene on a non-sex chromosome (autosome) and is inherited in a recessive pattern.

- Haemophilia, on the other hand, is a sex-linked recessive disorder, meaning it is caused by a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome and is inherited in a recessive pattern.
