In this case a family history revealed a genetic basis for the disorder. The pedigree is shown in Fig. 1 Below. Key Ø Female: affected Female: unaffected I IV V o 6000 600 10d60 5ம் 00000 10 CHO 80 Male: affected Male: unaffected Deceased Disease status not given Dizygotic twins Monozygotic twins Fig. 1 Disease pedigree. Five generations I, II, III, IV, V are shown. Females are represented by circles, males by squares, dizygotic (non-identical) twins by diagonal lines originating from the same point, Monozygotic (identical) twins by diagonal lines originating from the same point and joined symbols and deceased by a diagonal line through the symbol. Filled symbols indicate that the individual displays the disease phenotype. Unfilled symbols indicate that the individual does not display the disease phenotype. Carriers of the disease are not indicated. Information on disease status is not known for generation I and is omitted for the individuals represented by a symbol with an asterisk. The person referred to in the opening paragraph above is V.1. Consider which pattern(s) of Mendelian inheritance is fare) sunnested by this periores and then answer questions 4-6
