A+ Autosomal
The gene that causes cystic fibrosis is located on chromosome 7, which is an autosome, not a sex chromosome.
This would be just a genetic or inherited condition.

Down syndrome.
This would be just a genetic or inherited condition.
It is less inheritable than other mental disorders such as ADHD and schizophrenia, however there is strong evidence that it is an inherited condition. It is also possible that it is caused by childhood trauma, or possibly even birth defects, affecting the volume of the prefrontal cortex (the 'mood' centre of the brain) As for the original question, no gene has been identified as yet as being responsible for the condition, so it isn't possible to say that it is or is not carried on a sex chromosome; but yes, there is a good chance it is carried on a chromosome
Sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis are carried on autosomes (chromosomes other than the sex chromosomes). Probably too many to list . . Right now, off the top of my head, I can think of Down's Syndrome (21st chromosome) and the "cri du chat" (5th chromosome) . . .
This would be just a genetic or inherited condition.
The Y chromosome will be included in the DNA test that determines paternity, because as we all know, half of our DNA comes from the mother and the other half from the father, which makes up the full genetic profile of the child with both x and y chromosome pairings.
It does not seem to be inherited. But if it runs in the family, your doctor should be told this. He should up the dose of Folic Acid. It seems not to be directly inherited but is the result of several genes and environmental factors. Some medications for the mother may have some involvement: anticonvulsants, perhaps diabetes, obesity or a high fever. It is not on the Y chromosome or any other chromosome.
Genetic diseases are often carried on the X chromosome. For example, hemophilia or colorblindness. Also, there are genes needed for the development of a fetus on the X chromosome. Scientists don't know their location, but they do know that a baby cannot be born without an X chromosome.
The Y chromosome closely resembles many of the other chromosomes. What did you have to do to determine that it was the Y chromosome?
