Select the pedigree-based inferences that represent evidence that these abnormalities are a consequence of pleiotropy. The two abnormalities always occur together in an affected individual in this pedigree. A single gene is responsible for the two abnormalities. Diverse, seemingly unrelated abnormalities can be attributed to a single gene. Two genes with redundant functions result in coexpression of the abnormalities. What is the mode of inheritance for the abnormalities charted in the pedigree? Oautosomal recessive autosomal dominant X-linked dominant X-linked recessive
