It is given that the trait is X-linked recessive. Therefore, a woman who expresses the phenotype, must have the alleles for the trait on both of her X chromosomes. Let the allele for the trait be represented by 'a'
Individuals III-1 and III-2 are unaffected. They are having a son who expresses the phenotype. This means that the mother is a carrier for the trait, that is, she carries the allele on one of her Xchromosomes, but does not show the phenotype (this is because, in X-linked recessive, the son inherits the trait from his mother). Hence, mother's genotype will be XaX. The father is normal, thus, his genotype will be XY.
We can find the probability of their next child to express the trait from the Punnette square given below-
X | Y | |
Xa | XaX (normal daughter) | XaY (affected son) |
X | XX (normal daughter) | XY (normal son) |
Thus, out of 4 children, 1 is showing the phenotype. Hence, there is 1/4 or 25% probability, that the next child will express the trait.

The mode of inheritance for the following pedigree is X-linked recessive. If individuals III-1 and III-2 were to have another child, what is the probability that they would express the trait? Explain your reasoning.
The mode of inheritance for this pedigree is autosomal dominant. If I-1 and II-2 were to have another child, what is the probability that their child would express the trait? Explain. 1 1 N II 1 3 4 5 6 N = 1 2 3 4 5 6
In the pedigree below, what is the most likely mode of inheritance for this condition?: X-linked recessive, autosomal dominant, or autosomal recessive? Affected individuals are shown as black symbols. Based on your prediction, give the genotypes of the following individuals: I-1, I-2, II-1, II-3, II-4, III-1, III-2, III-4, IV-2, and IV-3. If you choose autosomal, use A or a; if you choose X-linked, use X^A, X^a, or Y List the proposed genotypes of the designated individuals along the side:
