There is a 25% chance that the offspring will exhibit polydactyly if both parents are heterozygous for the trait.
An organism that passes the same trait over many generations is said to exhibit genetic heritability or have a heritable trait.

A square box half colored in a pedigree typically represents a carrier of a genetic trait. This means the individual carries one copy of the gene mutation for the trait but does not exhibit the trait themselves.
One example of a sexually influenced trait in humans would be haemophilia. The gene responsible for haemophilia is located on the X chromosome, and if a man receives a gene from his mother (men's X chromosomes always come from their mother) that is positive for this trait, he will exhibit haemophilia. Women must have two X chromosomes that are positive for haemophilia in order to exhibit the trait, because it is a recessive gene.

No, an organism with a recessive allele for a particular trait will only exhibit that form if it has two copies of the recessive allele (homozygous recessive). If it has one dominant allele, it will exhibit the dominant form of the trait.
An individual who has inherited a factor for a trait is a carrier of that trait. They may or may not exhibit the trait themselves, as it depends on whether the inherited factor is dominant or recessive.
There is a 25% chance that the offspring will exhibit polydactyly if both parents are heterozygous for the trait.
If the the trait is controlled by only one allele and the allele is completely dominant then once inherited the offspring with exhibit that phenotype

"Uneasy" is not a character trait in itself, but rather a feeling or emotional state that a character may exhibit under certain circumstances. It can be a temporary state of being rather than a consistent trait.
The term dominant is a misnomer here as the trait is not dominant or the number of women with the trait would be much higher. Pattern baldness is a sex-linked trait. Male pattern baldness alleles are present on the X chromosome which means that only one copy of the allele is required for a male to exhibit the trait (the y chromosome, being much smaller, doesn't have the gene locus for this trait). Females must have 2 alleles for the characteristic in order to exhibit the the trait.
