- Examine the pedigree and answer the following questions; shaded individuals show the trait; genotypes are all unknown. The individual marked with the question mark is of an unknown genotype but does have the trait. A. What mode of inheritance is the most likely for this trait, autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant? State your rationale for full credit. B. What is the genotype of the individual marked with the question mark? (Heterozygous, homozygous, or unknown)arrow_forwardIn this pedigree, which parents-child pair allows you to reject the hypothesis of X- linked dominant as an inheritance pattern? If there are more than one pair, just pick one possibility. Be careful that the person is really a child. Specify generation and number.

- 58 A family has two children with an undiagnosed, very rare neurodevelopmental condition illustrated in the pedigree below. Neither parent is affected and there is no family history of this disorder. The following two questions relate to this pedigree. What is the most likely mode of inheritance for this condition? Select one alternative: Dominant O It is not inherited Recessive X-linked recessivearrow_forwardHow many affected females and males does this pedigree show? (2) Who is the proband? (3) How many generations are included? (4) What kind of inheritance pattern is the disease-causing allele in this pedigree? Why? (5) Who have the same genotype as the proband? Why?arrow_forwardIf the mother has normal color vision but her daughter has red-green colorblindness, what must be the genotype of the sex chromosomes of the two parents (with respect to red-green vision)arrow_forward

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.
