Question

Which of the following is a dominant autosomal disorder?

• A. Cystic Fibrosis
• B. Huntington's Disease
• C. Sickle Cell Anemia
• D. Hemophilia

Hint:

Dominant autosomal disorders require only one copy of the altered gene to be inherited for the disorder to be expressed in an individual.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Huntington's Disease is an autosomal dominant disorder, requiring only one mutated gene copy. In contrast, Cystic Fibrosis and Sickle Cell Anemia are recessive disorders, necessitating two mutated gene copies. Hemophilia is typically an X-linked recessive disorder.
