a.
To determine:
The number of children of each sex that are expected to express the trait by filling in the appropriate circles and squares, assuming that the trait is rare and fully penetrant.
Introduction:
Analysis of pedigree requires a certain amount of sleuthing, based on pattern recognition that is associated with different modes of inheritance. Basic presentation of pedigree includes horizontal line between male and female or parents indicating mating and the vertical line indicates respective offsprings, while roman numbers indicate generations.
