The image depicts a pedigree chart focusing on the inheritance of hemophilia, a recessive X-linked blood clotting disorder, within the descendants of Queen Victoria. The chart is used to illustrate genetic inheritance patterns to evaluate the probability that Princess Irene is a carrier of the hemophilia allele.### Key Elements in the Pedigree:- **Symbols:** - Squares represent males. - Circles represent females. - Shaded icons indicate individuals affected by hemophilia. - Unshaded icons indicate individuals who are unaffected. - A half-shaded circle represents a known or potential carrier of the hemophilia allele.### Family Overview:- **Queen Victoria (1819-1901):** - Listed at the top of the chart, she is presumed to have been a carrier of the hemophilia allele.- **Direct Descendants:** - Victoria's children include several male and female heirs, among whom some are carriers or affected by hemophilia.- **Notable Descendants:** - **Leopold, Duke of Albany:** Identified as affected by hemophilia (shaded square). - **Frederick:** Identified as affected (shaded square). - **Maurice:** Another male descendant who is affected (shaded square).- **Princess Irene:** - The subject of interest in the question, she is a daughter of Alice of Hesse. The potential for her to be a carrier is indicated by her connection to Victoria's line, but her circle remains unshaded suggesting an unknown carrier status.### Genetic Context:- **Recessive X-linked Inheritance:** - Males (XY) inheriting the affected X chromosome will manifest the disorder. - Females (XX) may be carriers if they inherit one affected X chromosome, potentially passing it to their offspring without showing symptoms themselves.### Question Focus:- **Probability of Princess Irene Being a Carrier:** - This requires evaluating the potential transmission of the recessive allele from her mother, a daughter of a known carrier (Queen Victoria), and the possibility of inheriting an affected X chromosome.This educational illustration is used to teach genetic inheritance patterns and the complexities of X-linked disorders in royal lineages.
