Question

Which diagnostic method is used to detect Mendelian disorders?

Options

• Microscopy of cell tissues

• Karyotyping

• X-ray imaging

• DNA sequencing, biochemical tests

Answer 1

Mendelian disorders are detectable by DNA sequencing and biochemical tests, which can identify specific gene mutations and their effects on protein production. Karyotyping, by contrast, is used to detect chromosomal disorders.
