Given the pedigree below, answer the following questions. Note that filled symbols represent affected individuals. You assume that the allele carrying the disease is rare and therefore individuals marrying into the family are unlikely to have defective alleles. Also, assume complete penetrance. Q2) What are the genotypes of the following individuals listed in the table below? Use the uppercase “A” to represent the dominant allele and lowercase “a” for the recessive allele. Individual Genotype II-7   III-5   IV-1   IV-3   I-2   III-7
