How can you tell if a pedigree is autosomal dominant or recessive?
Using the pedigree chart attached:
Above is a pedigree for colorblindness. Based on the pedigree, is the disease dominant or recessive and is it sex-linked or autosomal? Why? Furthermore, what is the probability that 18 on this chart is affected but the condition, and what is the probability that 18 is a carrier? Why? Are the probability of being a carrier and an affected individual different? Why?
What is the most common autosomal recessive disease?

Hint: consider each type of autosomal inheritance and see if it could explain the inheritance of the trait. a) Yes, an autosomal dominant gene could explain this trait. b) Yes, an autosomal recessive gene could explain this trait. c) No, an autosomal gene could not account for this pedigree. d) Yes, A and B are true.arrow_forwardDescribe the characteristics of a pedigree for an autosomal dominant and an autosomal recessive trait.arrow_forwardIs this pedigree dominant or recessive?
