The Figueroa family has a genetically inherited trait called ocular albinism—lack of pigment in the eye—which is caused by a 516-bp deletion in an exon of a single gene. DNA for this gene was amplified from each member of the family and run on the gel shown below. The thickness of the band indicates the relative amount of DNA. Use the pedigree and the gel to determine the most likely mode of inheritance for this disease. a) x-linked dominant b)x-linked recessive c)autosomal dominant d) autosomal recessive e) cant be determined
