Autosomal recessive is a type of disorder in which two copies of an abnormal gene must be found for the disease in the affected person.

1. Autosomal dominant
2. Autosomal recessive
3. X-linked recessive
4. Y-linked inheritance

Correct answer: Autosomal recessive

Solution

The statement describes a disorder that appears only when both alleles are abnormal, which is the defining feature of autosomal recessive inheritance. In autosomal dominant disorders, one abnormal copy is enough, so that does not match.
