![This image is a pedigree chart, a tool used in genetics to track the inheritance of traits. In this chart, circles represent females, and squares represent males. Shaded symbols indicate individuals expressing a particular trait, while unshaded symbols represent those who do not.
The structure of the chart is as follows:
1. The top generation consists of one shaded square (male) and one unshaded circle (female).
2. This pair has two offspring depicted below them: an unshaded square (male) on the left and an unshaded circle (female) on the right.
3. The unshaded female has two offspring with a shaded male (square): one unshaded circle (female) on the left and one shaded square (male) on the right.
4. The shaded male (from the sibling generation with the unshaded female) has an offspring with a shaded circle (female) shown below them.
This chart illustrates the inheritance of a trait through generations, where the trait appears to be passed down and expressed variably among the descendants.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F17c1e71f-55d2-4ce6-93ef-b4a233349823%2F8768717b-4c4f-43eb-a47a-7120df014c8a%2Fnhq6uhi_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)

Introduction
Genetic qualities are passed down through inheritance from parents to their young ones, who receive all of their parents' genetic material. Thus, heredity explains why parents and their offspring share many of the same personality traits. The distinctive characteristics that parents pass on to their children include blood type, eye color, and hair color. Even illnesses may be transferred from parents to their children. Humans contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, of which 22 pairs are autosomes and X or Y are sex chromosomes.
