By observing the phenotypes of individuals in a pedigree (such as their physical characteristics or traits), one can infer the genotypes that may be responsible for those traits. By looking at patterns of inheritance within the pedigree, such as autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked inheritance, one can make educated guesses about the genotypes of individuals based on their observed phenotypes. However, the presence of genetic variability, incomplete penetrance, or phenocopies can complicate the prediction of genotypes solely based on phenotypic information.
The chart you are referring to is called a Punnett square. It is used to predict the possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring resulting from a genetic cross between two individuals.
The pedigree will typically show one kind of trait and the affected members of a family. Take a look at if the trait is dominant or recessive first. Once you have that figured out,start to predict the genotypes of the individuals in the pedigree.
Yes, a human pedigree can be used to detect a recessive trait by tracking the inheritance pattern of the trait within a family. Patterns such as multiple affected siblings, skip generations, and consanguinity can help identify recessive trait inheritance. Pedigree analysis can reveal carriers of the trait even if they do not show symptoms.
Pedigree is used to determine wheather a trait is inherited.
He bred pedigree dogs. As his parents and grandparents were good athletes, he had a good pedigree as a sprinter.

No, a circle on a pedigree typically represents a female. A square is used to represent a male in a pedigree chart.
A pedigree chart is used to trace the history of traits in a family. It shows the relationships between family members across generations and helps to track the inheritance patterns of specific traits or conditions.
The modes of inheritance are y-linked, x-linked, and mitochondrial. Inherited traits can then be recessive, dominant, or autosomal depending on how they are inherited.
A pedigree is used to determine whether you are at risk of inheriting a particular genetic disorder.
