### Pedigree Analysis

**Question 6:**
For the pedigree below, does it show an Autosomal Dominant, Autosomal Recessive, or X-linked trait? Choose one and show the probable genotypes for everyone.

**Diagram Explanation:**
The given diagram is a pedigree chart used to show the inheritance of a specific trait over several generations. It is composed of circles (representing females) and squares (representing males). Filled shapes indicate individuals expressing the trait, while unfilled shapes indicate those who do not. Lines connecting the symbols show relationships between individuals.

**Pedigree Chart Breakdown:**
1. The first generation consists of one carrier male (represented by a filled square) and one unaffected female (represented by an unfilled circle).
2. The second generation includes three offspring—two unaffected males and one affected male.
3. The second generation also branches out to show one affected female and one unaffected male as a couple, which leads into the third generation.
4. The third generation has a mix of affected and unaffected individuals. 
    - One affected male (filled square) and one affected female (filled circle) are siblings. 
    - Another branch shows multiple unaffected children.

To determine if the trait is Autosomal Dominant, Autosomal Recessive, or X-linked and to provide the probable genotypes:

**Autosomal Dominant:**
- Likely Genotypes:
  - Affected individuals (expressing trait): Heterozygous (Aa) or homozygous dominant (AA).
  - Unaffected individuals: Homozygous recessive (aa).

**Autosomal Recessive:**
- Likely Genotypes:
  - Affected individuals: Homozygous recessive (aa).
  - Unaffected individuals: Homozygous dominant (AA) or heterozygous carriers (Aa).

**X-linked Trait:**
- Likely Genotypes:
  - Affected males: Hemizygous for the trait (X^aY).
  - Affected females: Homozygous (X^aX^a) or heterozygous (X^AX^a) if the trait is dominant.
  - Unaffected individuals: Depend on the dominance and presence of the trait on their respective chromosomes.

**Answer:**
Based on the distribution of traits across generations and both males and females being affected, it is most indicative of an Autosomal Dominant trait. In such cases, every individual who
