Consider the three pedigrees at the top of the right column, all involving a single human trait.

(a) Which combination of conditions, if any, can be excluded?

dominant and X-linked

dominant and autosomal

recessive and X-linked

recessive and autosomal


(b) For each combination that you excluded, indicate the single individual in generation II (e.g., II-1, II-2) that was most instrumental in your decision to exclude it. If none were excluded, answer “none apply.”


(c) Given your conclusions in part (a), indicate the genotype of the following individuals:

II-1, II-6, II-9

If more than one possibility applies, list all possibilities. Use the symbols A and a for the genotypes.
