    according to me answer of question no.7 is wrong it should be option c because galactosemia is a inborn disease of metabolism.

      no galactosemia is not an inborne disease…..a human eye has a small canal called as d canal of schlem inorder to avoid flow of blood molecules in d eye ball………wen ur blood contains glucose molecules (specifically in a diabetic patient) d canal gets blocked n d person suffers frm dis disease so its nt inborn……n if u check an ncert bk u vill find dat baldness is a y-linked disorder n yeah it is a sex linked disease n only seen in males……….so d answer is a correct 1!

      it is right that galactosemia is an inborn error of metabolism. but the mcq is what is the incorrect opt??? here opt. a- baldness is a sex linked disease , but truly baldness is an autosomal dominant disease. so the incorrect option is opt-a.
