Can a human pedigree be used to detect a recessive trait?
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.
What is the genotype of an affected male on a pedigree?
An affected male will typically have one copy of the disease-causing allele, often represented as "X^A Y" for X-linked recessive disorders or "Aa" for autosomal dominant disorders on a pedigree chart. This genotype indicates that the male has one copy of the mutated gene leading to the disease.
What is the chart for ancestry and traits used as a tool to study human patterns of inheritance called?
A pedigree chart is a documented record of one's ancestry. Genealogists use pedigree charts to study family lines. Learn more at 23andme.com.
When studying a pedigree how do scientists determine if a trait is dominate or recessive?
dominant only appears in the F1 generation as 4 recessive stays hidden or masked in the F1 generation
What is the pattern of inheritance for a sex-linked recessive trait in a pedigree?
In a pedigree, a sex-linked recessive trait is passed down from carrier mothers to affected sons. Daughters of carrier mothers have a 50 chance of being carriers themselves. Sons of affected fathers do not inherit the trait.
What are the probable mode of inheritance from a pedigree diagram showing phenotypes?
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.
What can you conclude about the trit followed in the pedigree below?
Without the specific pedigree provided, I can't draw conclusions about the traits or inheritance patterns observed in it. Generally, pedigrees help trace the inheritance of traits through generations, indicating whether a trait is dominant, recessive, autosomal, or sex-linked. Analyzing the pattern of affected and unaffected individuals can reveal important information about the genetic basis of the trait in question. Please provide more details about the pedigree for a more accurate interpretation.
What is the pedigree of a rare recessive phonotypr determined by a recessive allele?
this question makes no sense.
Based on the pedigree above how many offspring from this cross had the recessive phenotype?
To determine the number of offspring with the recessive phenotype from the pedigree, you would need to analyze the specific symbols and relationships depicted in the pedigree chart. Typically, the recessive phenotype is represented by a specific shape or shading. By counting the individuals displaying that phenotype among the offspring shown in the pedigree, you can arrive at the total number of offspring with the recessive trait. If the pedigree is not provided, I cannot give an exact number.

Describe how phenotypes can be used to predict genotypes in a pedigree?
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.
How do pedigrees for autosomal genes differ from pedigree for sex-linked genes?
sex-linked genes are differ from autosomal from pedigrees because they both have different affects from pedigrees
What is the genotype of an affected male on a pedigree?

What advantages does a pedigree have over a written passage?
A pedigree provides a visual representation of genetic relationships and patterns of inheritance within a family or group of individuals, making it easier to trace specific traits or genetic conditions across generations. It also allows for quick identification of patterns of inheritance such as autosomal dominant or recessive traits. In contrast, a written passage may not convey this information as clearly or concisely.
In a pedigree an open circle represents what?
Pedigree charts are a graphic representation of a family's inheritance. An open circle indicates a female homozygous recessive for a trait.
