color blindness
cystic fibrosis
hemophilia
muscular dystrophy
ickle - cell anemia
an inherited disorder that causes severe damage to the lungs, digestive system, and other organs in the body by affecting the cells that produce mucus.
an inherited sex - linked trait that results in a missing clotting factor needed for normal blood clotting to occur.
an inherited disorder that results in the body producing abnormally shaped red blood cells.
an inherited disease that causes progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass.
an inherited condition that affects males more frequently than females, and that occurs when light - sensitive cells in the retina fail to respond appropriately to variations in wavelengths of light.

Explanation:

These are well - known genetic disorders. Color blindness is related to vision, cystic fibrosis to mucus - producing cells, hemophilia to blood clotting, muscular dystrophy to muscle function, and sickle - cell anemia to red blood cell shape.
