- II. Given the following pedigree below, use Punnett squares for each of the following possibilities: a) Autosomal recessive and b) Autosomal dominant in order to determine what is the mode of transmission of this trait. Disease allele = a or A, depending on mode of transmission of the disease respectively. Your Punnett squares should reflect what you see in generation II. Circle the mode of transmission.
