### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding Mendelian Disorders**: - Mendelian disorders are genetic disorders that occur due to alterations in genes or abnormalities in the genome. They can be inherited in different patterns, including autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive. 2. **Identifying Autosomal Dominant Disorders**: - Autosomal dominant disorders are caused by mutations in a gene located on one of the autosomes (non-sex chromosomes). In these disorders, only one copy of the mutated gene is sufficient to cause the disorder. - A well-known example of an autosomal dominant disorder is **Huntington's disease**. This disorder is characterized by neurodegeneration and is caused by an expansion of CAG repeats in the Huntington gene. ...
