Concept introduction: Pedigree analysis is an approach that is used to study the inheritance of genes in humans. This approach is of great importance, as it can be used to construct a pedigree based on a family history and also to evaluate the given information in the pedigree by applying the laws of inheritance (law of segregation, law of dominance, and the law of independent assortment).

B.
