A. Identify the pattern of inheritance in the pedigree below. B. Provide two pieces of evidence that you used to come to this conclusion. C. Identify the genotypes of individuals II-1 and III-2 (at the arrows)

(a) Determine the probable mode of inheritance for the trait shown in the affected individuals in the ff. pedigree by answering the ff. questions. Assume the condition is caused by a single gene. a. Y-linked inheritance can be excluded at a glance. Apart from the four choices below, what two other mechanisms of inheritance can definitely be excluded AT A GLANCE? Why?   b. For each mechanism of inheritance listed below, provide basis that the mechanism fits or does not fit by showing the genotypes of each individual (e.g., provide the genotypes of each individual if it follows X-linked dominant; provide the genotypes of each individual if it follows X-linked recessive, etc.). If the mode of inheritance does not fit, emphasize the individuals with genotypes inconsistent to the mode of inheritance. X-linked dominant X-linked recessive Sex-influenced dominant in males, recessive in females Autosomal recessive   C. What mode of inheritance is most likely for this characteristic?

Construct an imaginary pedigree that represents the inheritance pattern of Groats Disease (not a real disorder) Imagine a family tree detailing the inheritance pattern of Groats Disease (not a real disorder), a condition we'll say follows an autosomal recessive pattern. (It must follow an autosomal recessive pattern). • • In this pedigree include 5 generations, 25 individuals, and 5 affected individuals. Proper Pedigree Notation (circles, squares, shading, etc.) Names, ages, and genotypes for all represented individuals (listed beside or under the representative symbol).

Hi, I'm having trouble with my study guide for my upcoming genetics exam. If someone could please help with work shown and an explanation it would help so much! Thank you!! 2a. The pedigree below represents inheritance of rare condition. What pattern of inheritance is most consistent with the data? Assign alleles to all individuals to support your answer. If an allele is unknown, assign it a ? symbol. NOTE: Individuals whose phenotype or genotype cannot be determined are assumed to be unaffected and homozygous, unless otherwise indicated. 2b. In addition to the alleles you’ve indicated, describe 2 overall features of the pedigree that make it consistent with your chosen form of inheritance.  2c. Based on your mode of inheritance, what is the probability that the child of couple IV-4 x IV-5 will be affected? Show your work.  attached is the pedigree
