Verified step by step guidance

Understand that genetic disorders can arise from various genetic changes, including mutations in a single gene, multiple genes, or chromosomal abnormalities. This means that the genetic basis of these disorders can be quite complex.

Recognize that genetic disorders can affect both physical and mental health. Many genetic disorders have neurological or psychological components, impacting mental health as well as physical traits.

Consider the inheritance patterns of genetic disorders. While many genetic disorders are inherited, some can occur spontaneously due to new mutations that are not inherited from the parents.

Acknowledge that not all genetic disorders are curable with modern medicine. While some can be managed or treated to alleviate symptoms, others may not have a cure and require ongoing management.

Evaluate each statement based on the above clarifications to determine which one correctly describes genetic diseases or disorders.
