Attached are three pedigrees. For each trait, considerwhether it is or is not consistent with X-linked recessiveinheritance. In a sentence or two, indicate why or why not.
A woman who sought genetic counseling is found to be heterozygousfor a chromosomal rearrangement between the second andthird chromosomes.

In humans, a rare dominant disorder known as nail-patella syndromecauses abnormalities in the fingernails, toenails, and kneecaps.Researchers have examined family pedigrees with regard to thisdisorder and have also examined the blood types of individualswithin each pedigree. (A description of blood genotypes is foundin Chapter 4.) In the following pedigree, individuals affected withnail-patella disorder are shown with filled symbols. The genotypeof each individual with regard to ABO blood type is also shown.Does this pedigree suggest any linkage between the gene thatcauses nail-patella syndrome and the gene that causes blood type?
