Answer: 3. Sickle cell anaemia - Autosomal recessive trait, chromosome-11

Key idea: Recall the mode of inheritance of each disorder.

Haemophilia: X-linked recessive, not Y-linked.
Phenylketonuria: autosomal recessive, not dominant.
Sickle cell anaemia: autosomal recessive, caused by a point mutation in the beta-globin gene on chromosome 11. Correct.
Thalassemia: autosomal, not X-linked.
