A family tree of sorts is called a pedigree. The symbols used for a pedigree are:female, unaffectedfemale, affected☐male, unaffectedmale, affectedI11III1Pedigree ChartMinor Peta #2Siblings are placed in hirth order from left to right and arelabeled with Arabic numerals. Each generation is labeledwith a Roman numeral. Therefore, the male exhibiting thetrait in the pedigree below in the bottom, center would beidentified as III-4.1. Which members of the family above are affected by Huntington's Disease?4. How many girls did II-1 and 11-2 have?3. How many children did individuals 1-1 and 1-2 have?2. There are no carriers for Huntington's Disease- you either have it or you don't. With this in mind, is Huntington's diseasecaused by a dominant or recessive trait?5. How are individuals III-2 and II-4 related?8-Huntington'sDisease

The question is to examine the pedigree and answer the questions regarding the disease transmitted…
