4. Analyzing:
A. Analyze the pedigree below and determine if the trait is inherited as autosomal
dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, X-linked recessive, or Y-linked.
Remember, data from human families is limited, so you may be unable to
determine the inheritance with certainty. The key is that you justify your answer
using data from the pedigree.

B. Two family members (individual four and individual 12) decide to undergo
genetic counseling and testing for the disease.
• Genetic testing shows that individual 4 has only nonmutant allele(s)
• Genetic testing also indicates that individual 12 has only mutant allele(s)
Does this information change your assessment of the inheritance of the disease? If
so, explain why; if not, explain why not.
