Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is b. It will always be expressed in a person who has the trait. This is what makes it a dominant trait.
Detailed explanation-2: -Autosomal dominant inheritance is a way a genetic trait or condition can be passed down from parent to child. One copy of a mutated (changed) gene from one parent can cause the genetic condition. A child who has a parent with the mutated gene has a 50% chance of inheriting that mutated gene.
