- The complete absence of one or more teeth (tooth agenesis) is a common trait in humans—indeed, more than 20% of humans lack one or more of their third molars. However, more severe tooth agenesis, defined as the absence of six or more teeth, is less common and is frequently an inherited condition. L. Lammi and colleagues examined tooth agenesis in the Finnish family shown in the pedigree below. Q.If IV-2 married a man who had a full set of teeth, what is the probability that their child would have tooth agenesis?arrow_forwardAn unaffected woman for a human disorder marries and unaffected man and they have children. This results in 3 affected sons, and one unaffected daughter, which ends up having children later on with an unaffected man and has 2 affected sons. A) Draw a simple pedigree diagram for this family, including a legend. B) What is the likely mode of inheritance of this trait: Please explain C) Provide the genotypes of the original mother and the daughter. Use a capital letter for the dominant allele and lowercase letter for the recessive allele.
