**Question 1:** Determine the inheritance pattern for the trait analyzed in the pedigree below.A. autosomal dominant B. autosomal recessive C. X-linked recessive **Question 2:** Indicate the genotype of each individual on the pedigree chart below.**Pedigree Chart Explanation:**- **Symbols:** - Squares represent males. - Circles represent females. - Shaded symbols indicate individuals expressing the trait. - Unshaded symbols indicate individuals not expressing the trait. **Generations and Individuals:**1. The first generation consists of one male (shaded) and one female (unshaded). 2. The second generation includes two males (one shaded, one unshaded) and two females (one shaded, one unshaded). 3. The third generation includes a group of two females (unshaded) and two males (one shaded, one unshaded). This pedigree chart is used to analyze the pattern of inheritance of a specific trait across three generations.

Inheritance patterns refer to the way genetic traits are passed down from one generation to the next.On the given tree the trait is more common in males than in females. This indicates that the trait is located on the X chromosome since males only have one X chromosome. On the other hand, affected males do not have affected fathers which reflects that the trait is recessive. Stage III indicates that affected females have at least one affected father, which means the trait is X-linked. The genotype will be: Unaffected males (individuals I-1, I-2, and II-1): XN XYAffected males (individuals II-2, III-2, and IV-2): Xr XYUnaffected females (individuals I-3, II-3, and III-3): XN XNAffected females (individual III-1): Xr XNHence, the inheritance pattern for the trait shown in the pedigree is X-linked recessive.
