The given pedigree chart.
Introduction:
A pedigree chart represents the inheritance of a trait/character/disease from one generation to another in a family. In a pedigree chart, males are represented as squares while females are represented as circles. Affected females/males are shown by shaded boxes. Connected symbols show a married couple or children. The pedigree chart is given below:
