Question
is the trait being tracked in the pedigree below dominant or recessive? 1 point dominant recessive sex - linked
In pedigree analysis, if two parents with the trait can have an offspring without the trait, it suggests a dominant trait. Here, the pattern of inheritance (assuming the general rules of dominant - recessive inheritance in pedigrees) shows that the trait is likely dominant. For a recessive trait, usually, two unaffected parents (carriers) would be needed to have an affected child. But in this case, the pattern is more consistent with a dominant trait.
