The following pedigree traces the inheritance of a certain genetic disease in a family. The circles represent women and the squares represent men. Individuals with darkened shapes have the disease, while individuals with white shapes do not. The lines indicate the relationship between individuals, either through marriage or by birth. Study the chart and then answer the questions that follow. One of the people on the chart is labeled with the letter A. Which of the following statements correctly describes this person's status in the pedigree? This person does not have the disease, but this person married someone with the disease, and one of the couple's daughters has the disease as well. This person does not have the disease, but this person's father and one of this person's sisters do. This person has the disease and has two daughters with the disease. ### Pedigree Chart ExplanationThis pedigree chart is a diagram used to track the inheritance of a particular trait across three generations. Each symbol and connection provides specific genetic information:#### Symbols:- Squares represent males.- Circles represent females.- Filled symbols (either squares or circles) indicate individuals who express the trait in question.- Unfilled symbols represent individuals who do not express the trait.- The symbol with the letter "A" indicates an affected individual from whom additional information may be gathered.#### Generations:- **Generation I:** The top row shows two couples. The first couple has a male expressing the trait and a female who does not. The second couple has a male who does not express the trait and a female who does.- **Generation II:** In the center row, we see the offspring of Generation I. From the first couple, there are three children: one female expressing the trait, one male who does not express the trait, and one female who does not express the trait. From the second couple, there are also three children: a female who does not express the trait and two males, one of whom expresses the trait.- **Generation III:** The bottom row shows the offspring of Generation II. The individuals are the children of the first male in Generation II. There are three children: one female who does not express the trait, one male who does not express the trait, and one male who expresses the trait. There is another branch showing the offspring of the male in Generation II who expresses the trait; this branch contains four children, with three females (two unshaded and one shaded) and one male (indicated with the letter "A" as affected).This chart effectively illustrates the inheritance pattern and can be used to analyze whether the trait follows a dominant or recessive mode of inheritance. It is a useful tool in genetics to study family traits and potential genetic conditions.
