7. You may construct a pedigree to help answer the question. In autosomal dominant inheritance, a homozygous
dominant affected father will have children
a. that are all affected.
b. Cannot tell from the information given
c. that are not affected.
d. that may or may not be affected.

Since the father is homozygous dominant (AA), and he is affected, that means that the disorder (or whatever it is), is autosomal dominant (plus it directly tells you that). That means it is not carried on the sex chromosomes. Since every child he has will inherit one of his alleles, they will all be affected by having at least the one.
