File:Autosomal recessive inheritance for affected enzyme.png|An example of where reasoning can be used to memorize several pieces of look-up information is that hereditary defects in enzymes are generally inherited in an autosomal fashion because there are more non-X chromosomes than X-chromosomes, and a recessive fashion because the enzymes from the unaffected genes are generally sufficient to prevent symptoms in carriers.
Autosomal dominant inheritance for structural protein.png|On the other hand, hereditary defects in structural proteins (such as osteogenesis imperfecta, Marfan's syndrome and Ehlers–Danlos syndromes) are generally autosomal dominant, because such structural proteins functionally work as beams and chains, so it is enough that some components are defective to make the whole structure dysfunctional. You can pass your exam without further memorizing what diseases are autosomal recessive versus dominant, by focusing on reasonable knowledge like this.

Although this resource outlines what you should focus on learning for everyday pathology practice, also keep in mind that '''nothing forbids you''' from learning less useful knowledge, such as reading pathology-related trivia for fun in your leisure time.
