Pedigree: A chart or "Family Tree" that tracks which members of a family have a particular trait.
It is one of the important tool that geneticists used to trace the inheritance of traits in humans is a pedigree.

∙ 12y agoA Dog's pedigree records the Dog's ancestors back over several generations so that the Dog's parentage can be seen. This makes the Dog purebred and means that breeders can make sure that two dogs aren't related so that they can breed them. It also helps to keep records of whether any of the Dog's ancestors had a certain fault or inherited disease. Only dogs with pedigrees are shown at Crufts (unless they are in Agility or Working Classes).

What is a purpose of a pedigree?
to document the biological relationships in families
What diagram traces the pattern of inheritance through families?
A pedigree is a diagram that shows the occurrence of a genetic trait in several generations of a family. A family tree might show resemblances if pictures are included, but a pedigree is more thorough.
A pedigree chart shows relationships within a family?
A pedigree shows the possible outcomes of traits in offspring. It shows if the offspring will have the trait, or if they will be a carrier. Pedigrees also show the previous generations how the future generations inherited the trait. The past generations can be labeled as F1 and the future are F2, which is our current generation.
How do you show a female without a trait in a pedigree chart?
A normally colored circle. As a carrier of the trait, they are usually half-colored.
Why do scientists use pedigree charts?
Pedigrees show how characteristics are passed from one generation to the next. They are used in studying human genetics because it is not possible to carry out controlled breeding experiments with humans, as we can with other animals or with plants. Instead we have to use the natural 'experiments' carried out when people have children, and see which characteristics tend to run in a family. Of course, it is necessary to ensure that a characteristic is not caused by the common environment shared by members of the same family.

What tool is used for tracing a trait through generations of a family called?
Genetic marking of genomes I believe that the correct answer is purebred, although I'm not quite sure. I can't find it in my science book either. GTG! My dad's getting out of the shower.
