1. The pedigree below is for a genetic disease or abnormality. Determine if it is possible that the
trait is autosomal dominant.
a. Assume for the moment that the trait is dominant. The pedigree below shows that three of
the individuals have the recessive (normal) phenotype and one individual has the
dominant (abnormal) phenotype.
b. Write the genotype of the affected (abnormal) individual next to her symbol in the pedigree
below. If you only know one of the alleles, use a dash (_ ) for the unknown allele. Write
the genotype of the three recessive individuals next to their symbols.

C.
