What about tracking an autosomal dominant trait, such as having a widow's peak? The presence of one dominant

allele for this widow's peak hairline (H) will result in an individual having a widow's peak. Since this pedigree is

tracking an autosomal dominant trait, shaded shapes have a widow's peak hairline. *Note: In reality, this trait may

be more complex than just a simple gene.

Note about the question: You will find the pedigree in the attached files (PNG).

Answer:

  • Third generation genotype: Hh
  • How many dominant alleles does an individual need in order to have the autosomal dominant trait? An individual only needs one dominant allele H
  • Is it possible to know the genotypes of the three children in generation III? Yes, because there is only one possible genotype
  • The whole third generation in the pedigree should be shaded.

Explanation:

Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files (PDF).
