Answer: In addition to having a 50% chance of inheriting autosomal dominant disorders from an affected parent, such a disorder is characterized by equal frequency of occurrence in both sexes (male and female).
Explanation: Autosomal dominant disorder has the following characteristics;
1. Appears in both sexes with equal frequency.
2. Does not skip generations.
3. Affected offsprings must have an affected parent unless they possess a new mutation.
4. Unaffected parents do not transmit the disorder.
5. When one parent is affected (heterozygous) and the other parent is unaffected, approximately 50% of the offsprings will be affected.
