need help solving this **Albinism in Humans: An Analysis of Pedigree Inheritance Patterns****Question 5:** Albinism in humans is characterized by the absence of pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes. Using the information in Figure 10-6, assess whether albinism is inherited as a dominant or a recessive trait. The affected individuals are represented by shaded squares and circles.**Pedigree Analysis:**The diagram is a pedigree chart illustrating the inheritance of albinism in a family. Squares represent males, and circles represent females. Shaded symbols indicate individuals affected by albinism. **Individuals:**- The first generation includes Bill (unshaded square) and Marie (unshaded circle).- The second generation consists of Ann (unshaded circle), John (shaded square), and three other unshaded individuals.- Andrew (shaded square) represents the third generation.**Task (a):** Underneath each circle and square in the pedigree, enter the genotype of that individual.**Task (b):** (Circle one answer). Albinism is a trait that is probably inherited through a **dominant / recessive** allele.**Support your answer with information from the pedigree:**Analysis of the pedigree chart suggests that albinism is inherited as a recessive trait. This is inferred because:- Both parents, Bill and Marie, are unaffected by albinism but have a child, John, who is affected.- John and his partner, Ann, have a child, Andrew, who is also affected even though Ann is unaffected.Considering these patterns, albinism being a recessive trait means that John and Ann both carry one recessive allele (unaffected carriers) while Andrew inherits the recessive allele from both parents, resulting in his being affected.
