Figure 4.3.1 A Pedigree Chart Showing Autosomal Dominant Inheritance [Long description] Example: Achondroplasia is a common form of dwarfism. FGFR3 gene at 4p16 (chromosome 4, p arm, region 1, band 6) encodes a receptor protein that negatively regulates bone development.
- Autosomal recessive traits. Autosomal recessive traits require two copies of the recessive allele to be expressed. What phenotypic ratios appear in the offspring?
- Autosomal dominant trait. An autosomal dominant trait will result in the dominant phenotype if one or more copies of the dominant allele are present.
- X-linked recessive traits. X-linked recessive traits are carried on the X chromosome. Because male offspring receive only one copy of the X chromosome, the trait is expressed phenotypically in all men with the X-linked recessive allele.
- X-linked dominant traits. This kind of inheritance is less common than X-linked recessive. It occurs when a dominant gene is carried on the X chromosome.
Using a pedigree for an autosomal or sex-linked trait, determine the genotype and phenotype for each person in the pedigree. Given information on parental and offspring phenotypes, determine whether the alleles involved are 1) dominant, recessive, or codominant, 2) autosomal or X-linked, and 3) linked or unlinked.
Aug 18, 2021 · To start reading a pedigree: Determine whether the trait is dominant or recessive. If the trait is dominant, one of the parents must have the trait. Dominant traits will not skip a generation. If the trait is recessive, neither parent is required to have the trait since they can be heterozygous. Determine if the chart shows an autosomal or sex ...
May 13, 2020 · Figure \(\PageIndex{2}\): Pedigree of an autosomal dominant trait. In an autosomal dominant trait, a child that has the trait will always have at least one parent with the trait. In an autosomal recessive trait, two individuals without the trait can have a child with the trait. Figure \(\PageIndex{3}\): Pedigree of an autosomal recessive trait.

An approach, called pedigree analysis, is used to study the inheritance of genes in humans. This session will outline how to construct a family pedigree, and how to interpret the information in a pedigree using Mendel’s laws of inheritance and an understanding of the chromosome theory of inheritance. To construct a pedigree based on a family ...
A pedigree is used to trace inheritance of a trait over several generations. Three primary patterns of inheritance: 1. Autosomal dominant 2. Autosomal recessive 3. Sex-linked (X-chromosomal) Other patterns of inheritance: Y-linked genes, m itochondrial genes.
