### Understanding Albinism through Pedigree Analysis**Introduction:**Albinism is a genetic condition characterized by the lack of pigment in the skin and hair. This condition is often caused by a single gene. Below is a pedigree chart that illustrates a family with some members affected by albinism.**Pedigree Analysis:**In the pedigree chart presented:- **Symbols:** - Squares represent males. - Circles represent females. - Filled symbols indicate individuals affected by albinism. - Unfilled symbols indicate unaffected individuals.- **Generations:** - I: This generation includes two couples (1-2 and 3-4). Members 2 and 4 are affected by albinism, as indicated by the filled circles. - II: This generation consists of eight individuals, including those affected (2, 6, and 8 are filled) and unaffected individuals. - III: Consists of individuals with no affected members, all represented by unfilled squares and circles. - IV: Includes seven individuals, all unaffected.**Questions:**a. **Is albinism caused by a dominant allele or recessive alleles?** - By analyzing the pedigree, we can determine whether albinism is due to dominant or recessive alleles based on the patterns of inheritance. The presence of albinism in specific individuals across generations can hint towards its recessive nature, given that unaffected parents have affected offspring.b. **What are the genotypes of the great-grandparents (generation I)?** - Based on the chart, generation I includes affected and unaffected individuals. The specific genotype would depend on analyzing the phenotypic outcomes in offspring, typically suggesting heterozygous carriers in unaffected individuals, and homozygous recessive in those affected.This pedigree provides a clear example of how genetic traits can be traced through families, offering insights into inheritance patterns and aiding in genetic counseling and education. The image contains the following educational text related to genetics:---e. What are the genotypes of the parents (III-5 and III-6)?f. Are the children in generation IV likely to be carriers for the allele that causes albinism?---No graphs or diagrams are present in the image.
