Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autosomal dominant disorders appear in every generation. This means that if a person inherits the gene mutation, they will develop the disorder, and they have a 50% chance of passing it on to each of their children. Therefore, the disorder tends to run in families and will appear in multiple generations. It does not skip generations as in option D or occur specifically in males or females as in options A and B. Additionally, there is no set pattern for how many generations the disorder will appear in, so option E is incorrect as well.
