The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Autosomal Dominant Inheritance**: - Autosomal dominant conditions are genetic disorders caused by mutations in genes located on the autosomes (non-sex chromosomes). - In this type of inheritance, only one copy of the mutated gene (from either parent) is sufficient to cause the disease. 2. **Identifying the Options**: - The question asks for a disease that is inherited as an autosomal dominant condition. - We need to evaluate the diseases mentioned in the context of their inheritance patterns. 3. **Evaluating the Given Diseases**: - **Hemophilia**: This is an X-linked recessive disorder, not autosomal dominant. - **Color Blindness**: This is also an X-linked recessive disorder, not autosomal dominant. - **Cri du Chat Syndrome**: This condition is due to a deletion on chromosome 5 and is not classified as autosomal dominant. - **Huntington's Disease (Chorea)**: This is an autosomal dominant disorder. It is characterized by progressive motor dysfunction, including involuntary movements. 4. **Conclusion**: - Among the diseases listed, **Huntington's Disease** is the one that is inherited as an autosomal dominant condition. ### Final Answer: The disease which is inherited as an autosomal dominant condition is **Huntington's Disease**.
