Summary Introduction

Concept introduction: The inheritance patterns for the inheritance of traits are autosomal dominant or recessive, or sex-linked. The traits due to the genes on autosomes are inherited in a simple Mendelian pattern; they can be dominant or recessive. An autosomal dominant trait appears in individuals with a dominant allele, whether they are homozygous or heterozygous. An autosomal recessive trait appears in individuals that are homozygous for the recessive allele.
