---**Understanding Genetic Inheritance Patterns****4. Genetic Study of Trait Inheritance**You have been studying a trait that seems to be present in every generation within a particular family. Further, you have observed that every affected offspring has at least one affected parent in any particular generation.a) Is this trait more likely due to a dominant or recessive allele?b) Interestingly, this allele is completely penetrant in the homozygous state while only 75% penetrant in the heterozygous condition. If two heterozygous individuals who carry this allele are mated, what is the expected proportion of affected progeny?---**Explanation:**- **Dominant vs. Recessive Alleles:** - The trait appears in every generation, which suggests a dominant allele pattern.- **Penetrance:** - The allele shows complete penetrance in homozygous individuals and partial penetrance (75%) in heterozygous individuals.- **Progeny Analysis:** - When two heterozygous individuals mate, the expected proportion of affected progeny needs to be calculated considering the penetrance levels.This pattern can be represented using a Punnett square, which helps in understanding the expected genetic outcome when two carriers mate.---
