Worksheet on Pedigree Analysis Showing Family Traits - Free Printable

- The pedigree chart shows an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
- Affected individuals (shaded symbols) appear in multiple generations, but not in every generation, which is typical for recessive traits.
- Unaffected parents can have affected children, as seen in the first and third pedigrees, indicating they are carriers of the recessive allele.
- The trait affects both males and females equally, ruling out X-linked inheritance.
- The presence of unaffected siblings of affected individuals supports the recessive nature of the trait, as they may have inherited two dominant alleles.
