Solution

The correct option is A True

Monogenic disorders are caused by mutation in a single gene, and it follows the basic Mendelian principles of inheritance. Since genes are affected, monogenic disorders belong to the category of genetic disorders.
Chromosomal disorders on the other hand are caused due to changes in chromosome number. Since genes are located on chromosomes, chromosomal disorders are also genetic disorder.
