Question
The image is a classification activity related to genetic inheritance patterns, specifically distinguishing between autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or both. 

**Instructions:**
Classify the following conditions based on whether they are describing autosomal dominance, autosomal recessive, or both.

**Conditions to Classify:**

1. Affected children can have unaffected parents
2. Heterozygotes are affected
3. Heterozygotes have a normal phenotype
4. Both males and females are affected with equal frequency
5. Affected children have at least one affected parent

**Categories:**

- **Autosomal Dominant:**
  - Contains characteristics where heterozygotes are typically affected, meaning that just one copy of an altered gene in each cell is sufficient for a person to be affected by an autosomal dominant disorder.
  
- **Autosomal Recessive:**
  - Refers to patterns where heterozygotes have a normal phenotype. Here, two copies of the gene in each cell are altered or mutated for a person to be affected by an autosomal recessive disorder.

- **Both:**
  - Conditions shared by both autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance patterns might include equal frequency of affecting both males and females, and the nature of inheriting conditions through parental genetic contribution.

**Diagram Explanation:**
There is no diagram shown in the image, only text-based classification elements.

This activity appears to engage students to correctly categorize genetic traits into their respective inheritance patterns based on provided characteristics.
