**Question:**

2. Circle all inheritance patterns that you cannot rule out to explain this pedigree:

a. autosomal dominant  
b. autosomal recessive  
c. X-linked dominant  
d. X-linked recessive  
e. Maternally imprinted  
f. Paternally imprinted  
g. Maternal inheritance  

**Pedigree Explanation:**

The pedigree diagram represents a family tree showing the occurrence of a genetic trait across generations. Squares represent males, and circles represent females. Filled (black) shapes indicate individuals expressing the trait, while unfilled (white) shapes indicate individuals without the trait. 

In this diagram, the trait is seen in two males and two females across two generations.

Pedigree and inheritance pattern

Pedigree:-   When the inheritance off particular character sticks or disease or any other health conditions is shown diagrammatically through different generations then the chart is known as the pedigree which shows the relationship among different generation and the members of different generations in a family.

 

Inheritance patterns are those genes or characteristics which are passed from one generation to another and  the pattern by which they pass in different generations.
