The pedigree below tracks the inheritance of a genetic disorder through a family's generation. I II 2 3 4 5 III 2 (i) Predict the mode of inheritance of the genetic disorder. Explain your answer. If III-2 marries a woman who has normal parents and a brother affected by the genetic disorder, what is the probability that they will give birth to an affected child? (ii) Extend the pedigree tree to include the family of II-3 spouse and the fourth generation. Explain your answer. (iii) Obligate carriers are individuals who must carry the mutation that produces the trait. Please list the obligate carriers in the pedigree shown above.
