Question

Look at the pedigree below and answer the following questions related to the human genetic trait depicted in this pedigree.

1. Indicate whether the pattern of inheritance associated with this human trait is most likely to be (i) rare X-linked recessive, (ii) sex-influenced, or (iii) sex-limited. You may assume that the gene is fully penetrant.

Then, provide a specific reason that justifies your selection of this pattern of inheritance as the correct one, and also explain why each of the other two alternatives are not correct. As part of your answer, include the phenotypic ratio, including the sex of the offspring, that you would expect to find in each of the three possible scenarios.
