Solution

The correct answer is "the mother or the father." In autosomal dominant disorders, the presence of just one mutated gene from either parent can lead to the manifestation of the disease. It does not matter whether the mother or father has the disorder; if they pass on the mutated gene, the child can inherit the disorder.
