believed to be autosomal dominant disorder
four times more likely in girls
tics start prior to age 1
both a and c

Explanation:

Question 16:

Talipes valgus (also called pes valgus) is defined as outward bending/eversion of the foot, where the foot rolls outward at the ankle.

Question 17:

Cerebral palsy is a group of movement disorders caused by non-progressive damage to the central nervous system (CNS) that occurs before, during, or shortly after birth. The other options are either specific potential contributors or not the overarching etiology.

Question 18:

Tourette syndrome is widely considered to have an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with variable penetrance. It is more common in boys (not girls), and tics typically start between ages 2-15, not before age 1.

Answer:

Question 16: An eversion or outward bending of the foot.
Question 17: CNS damage before, during, or after birth.
Question 18: Believed to be autosomal dominant disorder
