1. Does the pedigree below appear to show a dominant trait or a recessive trait? What patterns did you see
that support your conclusion?
Key to the pedigree image: Squares represent males, circles represent females. A horizontal line connecting
two shapes represents a cross (a male/female couple that produces offspring). Vertical lines coming down
from a cross leads to offspring of the cross. Red-shaded shapes show individuals displaying the phenotype
being studied. Shapes that are not shaded-in represent individuals who do not display the phenotype being
studied.
