Exercise 16
Assume that the trait in the accompanying pedigree results from simple Mendelian inheritance.
(a) Is the trait likely to be due to a dominant allele or a recessive allele? Explain.
(b) What is the meaning of the double horizontal line connecting III-1 with III-2?
(c) What is the biological relationship between III-1 and III-2?
(d) If the allele responsible for the condition is rare, what are the most likely genotypes of all of the persons in the pedigree in generations I, II, and III? (Use A and a for the dominant and recessive alleles, respectively.)
