To solve this problem, we need to identify which condition is caused by an autosome-linked dominant trait. Let's analyze each option:Option 1: Sickle cell anaemia - Sickle cell anaemia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin-beta gene on chromosome 11. - Therefore, it is not an autosome-linked dominant trait.Option 2: Myotonic dystrophy - Myotonic dystrophy is an autosomal dominant disorder. It is caused by a mutation in the DMPK gene on chromosome 19. - Therefore, it is an autosome-linked dominant trait.Option 3: Haemophilia - Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder, typically associated with mutations in genes on the X chromosome. - Therefore, it is not an autosome-linked dominant trait.Option 4: Thalassemia - Thalassemia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the genes responsible for hemoglobin production. - Therefore, it is not an autosome-linked dominant trait.Based on the analysis, the correct answer is Option 2: Myotonic dystrophy, which is an autosome-linked dominant trait.
