Use the following to respond to the three questions posed below:  The XX proband exhibits the trait Neither her XY mate nor her only sibling, an older XY individual, exhibits the trait.  The proband has five children: The oldest is an XY individual, followed by an XX individual, then another XY individual and then identical twin XX individuals.  Only the second oldest fails to exhibit the trait. Both parents of the proband show the trait.     Construct a pedigree of the trait of the family (you can draw a picture and upload a picture or a scan or you can construct a pedigree using a digital method (see 4-2 for some options)).   Determine how the trait is inherited (hint: for each pattern of inheritance, go step by step through each generation to determine its likelihood).
